The original Kool-Aid pie recipe came out in a Readers Digest in the 1950's way before cool whip and pre- made graham cracker crust. I used to make it as a child. To make it I poured 1 can of evaporated milk into a metal ice tray and put it in the freezer till 1/2 inch was frozen around the edges. I also put the beaters and the mixing bowl in the freezer. In the mean- time I crushed graham crackers and made a crust. Once the milk was ready, I took everything out of the freezer and proceeded to beat the milk. It thickens up just like whipping cream. At the soft peak stage, I gradually added 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and the pack of kool- aid of choice, which at that time they had more variety than today, and I used apricot flavor. I continued to beat this till stiff peaks formed and everything was well incorporated. I put the filling in the pie shell and back in the freezer. In a few hours it was set and absolutely delicious and refreshing. My grandfather loved for me to make it.

I just made 2 pies the other day. I made lemon and the other I made cherry. On the cherry to serve I drizzled chocolate syrup on it. It made it like chocolate covered cherry.

Yum! We love Koolaid Pie. We got on a kick last summer and must have made a dozen of them. I definitely want to try making a watermelon flavored one. Last summer, I wanted to try a lime flavored pie, but don’t care for the Koolaid flavor of lime. I had a box of True-Lime, which I think is just freeze dried lime juice. I used about 17 packets to get the flavor I wanted. It’s probably the best lime pie I’ve ever had! The sweetness of the Eagle Brand mixed with the tartness of the TrueLime is pure perfection! 😋 And funny thing-we discovered that we like the Great Value brand pie crusts even more than the Keebler. They stay more crispy on the bottom.

I've heard of this pie, but never made one. The watermelon pie sounds so good! It's one of my favorite summer flavors! Thank you Tom, for sharing these delightful recipes. I really appreciate them, and you!

I had forgotten all about those pies! My mother used to make them often. She would use the whipped topping in the can to decorate the top edge of the pie to make it more "fancy." 😊

Your channel has become one of our very favorite. In the morning with our coffee we look at KZfaq recipes. Tom is always one we look for. I had not heard of Koolaid pie until a couple months ago. She made hers like you did, but at the end she said there is a lower sugar version, my husband is diabetic so we tried it and it was really good, thought some of your viewers would like it. One 8oz package cream cheese softened, 1 cup Splenda and a pkg of koolaid (or 2). I mix with hand mixer because it is easier, then mix in the Cool Whip with a spoon and put in a pie shell and put in fridge for couple hours

I have a 7 yr. old niece. She spends weekends with me & we go to church. She will love making this. I can't wait. We'll make Kool aid pie this weekend.

I'm making a recipe book for my 9 year old grandson and I can't wait to try this with him

Thank you Tom. My mother used to make this pie when I was younger. Happy 4th to you and Melissa

Oh my goodness, my mom made her key lime pies like this!!! You brought back such great and yummy memories. I love your ideas and thank you so much for sharing!!!

I have made this pie for 40 years! My kids and grandkids love it!

Cut two pieces and the first piece will come out easily. I am trying this. Thanks

Boy howdy! I'm making that happen today! My roommates love it when I make your recipes. 😅❤

Just bought my ingredients will be my first one of the year (Made one last year was delicious) Making it for my 83 yr old Mamaw

Love Tom and Melissa. The directions for the recipes are very clear and easy to follow.

Thank you for this recipe ☺️ I am definitely going to make this with the grandkids..they'll love it.

Thank you so much for scraping out all the 'goody' from the can and container. In so many food videos it seems they leave almost a fourth of ingredients behind. lol!

A few years ago my daughter and I made about six in three days the family loved them. Then our church had been suppers and made them two .Loved them

I make a yogurt pie in almost the same method but only three ingredients: a graham cracker crust, a 8-oz. tub of cool whip and 2 yogurts. I use the fruit yogurts mostly like peach, strawberries, etc. (I would think any yogurt would work.) Sometimes I’ll put fresh fruit on top: fresh peaches with the peach yogurt pie, etc. If 2 yogurts don’t satisfy your taste, add another same yogurt. Put pie in refrigerator at least 3-4 hours; I actually leave the pie overnight in the refrigerator. This pie is always a hit and has never disappointed through the years.

Love everything you fix

Yes that’s cool, I love these pies !

I love making these pies. Sometimes I add colored sprinkles on top. The kids love to do that. 👍

I use that recipe a lot, but I mix in two packages of koolaid because we like a stronger flavor.

Wonderful recipe! I heard you say getting the first piece of pie out can be tricky. My Nana said all you have to do is take another slice on each side. Works like a charm. Not sure why but I never had a messy first piece again. Hope it works for you too.

Like this pie. So easy.

Mmm... I'm definitely saving this one!

I can't wait to try this!!!

I will be trying this thanks for sharing

This looks yummy. I need to try it.

Really looks good😊

i love how simple yet informative your videos are :)

I ❤watermelon I have to try this thank you 😊😊

I would add some lemon zest to the top of the pie and a slice of twisted lemon on top for appeal but I have had this before love it you cook a lot like I do you know food is about flavor and family keep on keeping on 🙏

Awesome! Looks good! Love watching your video.

Awesome video,thank you both.

These pies sound good!

I make these alot. They are so good. And easy.

I will be trying these😊

I always enjoy watching your videos and this one was special! 😊 I to have childhood memories of my mother making these simple and delicious pies! I also started making them again a few years ago when my mother had dementia. I’ve made lemonade, orange,strawberry, cherry, mixed berry,and grape. They have all been a hit with family and friends. My mother loved the strawberry and my favorite is orange. But after watching your video I’ll be trying the watermelon! I absolutely love watermelon 🍉 and this may be my new favorite! We shall see! Thanks for sharing! God Bless!

I love you guys I'm making this watching you guys are awesome thanks

I love scrapbooking, that’s what I do for my fun time! I have some pie shells, now I can make a koolaid pie.

These are the kind of recipes I like.....simple and quick! 👍 I didn't even know they had watermelon-flavored Kool-Aid.....lol! That shows you how old I am...I haven't bought Kool-Aid in years. 🤔 Thanks for sharing 🥰

Look good

Never heard of kool-aid pies, but can't wait to try them. Thanks

Awesome want to make it with the grandkids 😋😋😋

Yes, my mom froze ours also... love it...

I'm happy to give you a thumbs up!!!

Love the vintage recipes always as I am 68 and made this a lot when my kids were little . Tip just use one but add a tbls of lemon juice that’s what to always did. I make it now but I make an almond flour type crust and I use a soft block of cream cheese and no sweetened condensed milk and 1/3 cup swerve powdered powdered sugar and zero sugar cool whip . I have a cherry in the refrigerator right now and I added a tbls of cherry juice from maraschino cherries to it .

I made one for Thanksgiving about 3 years ago it was cherry kool-aide with an Oreo crust kids all said it reminded them of chocolate covered cherries

You two are Just sont Nice tout look at. Thank you. Love your complicity.

Thank you for all of your recipes, and I really like you having the recipe right there in the video. I've gotten to the point, if I have to go searching for it, I just leave the video. Thanks again!

It would be my favorite watermelon

Cute couple video I love kool aid pie

Hello Tom and Melissa, New subscriber here. I just watched EASY KOOL-AID PIES and will be trying this recipe very soon. Since summer has arrived here in Missouri that means hot and humid here in the Ozark Hills. I have twin great grandchildren who are 3 and have involved them in baking cookies and pizza for some time now. To hot to have the oven on and couldn't think of anything to make with them. You helped me with that question. Thanks a bunch! Sure they will like the pies, the boy loves strawberries and the girl loves watermelon so onto whipping up some pies! PS- Nana just might have to have a piece or two herself !

I made one with lemon and 1 with dark cherry kool aid. Loved both

It's nice to have TRUR FRIENDS, pie looks good I'm going to try it Thank you for sharing.

Oh, my goodness, you've really brought back some memories. I have made them before. they are really Good.

Thank you for all of your recipes and it helps me to watch the videos that go with the recipes because that's how I learn the best watch & then do it myself. I also enjoy how you interact with each other.🙂

Thank you for sharing your recipe with us and I sure will try it until next time may God bless and have a great day ♥️

Alternate Method - I've always made these with the Jello mix and the Cool Whip only. 8oz. Cool Whip and one 3.4oz. box of jello mix and that's it! Just two ingredients. This will give you a real nice flavor and extra creamy texture. Thanks for the video!

I must try this pie‼️‼️‼️Watermelon sounds delicious for summertime ‼️‼️‼️thanks for another delicious recipe ‼️‼️‼️

The watermelon flavor is soooo good just tried yesterday

I have made the lemonade pie before but never watermelon. I am gonna try it. Looks yummy!

That is the third kool aid pie video I have watched lately. It's convincing watching you taste things!

My little 5 yr. old granddaughter likes to help her mother in the kitchen. I am excited about asking her if she would like to come over and make a pie, and give her the chance to pick the flavor. Thank you for posting this. 😁

Delicious, all it needs is whipped cream on top, definitely going to make them, thanks for sharing ❤😊.

Классное рецепт

love your recipes .very organized and delicious♥️♥️♥️♥️🐩🐩🐩🐩

I now only look for your recipes,I love this site!

In the days before KoolWhip, my mother would use a can of super cold evaporated milk that she would whip until it was like whipped cream then add Kool-Aid or Jello. This brings back old memories from 70 years ago.

Hello 👋, I'm in Salyersville, Ky . Love watching ya'll!

I made this with the water melon it’s very good and very easy I personally would do a mother flavor next time maybe strawberry and add fresh strawberries for the garnish

I've never seen this recipe, Thank you very much!!! You are a pleasure to watch and get great recipes. I've shared this with my sister ❤😊

Yum 😋

I liked this. I'm not much of a cook so this was nice and easy to make. I made the watermelon flavor and added strawberries on top. Nice Summer time dessert. Can't wait to try other flavors.

I really enjoy this quick and easy pie recipe. I'm going to be making it for dessert tomorrow to surprise my son with my homemade mac & cheese from scratch. I had planned on mac & cheese for Thanksgiving dinner I just didn't have enough time to make it then so I'm going to make it one week later for a delicious dinner and a wonderful pie to finish off the dinner with.

Who would have thought, koolaid!? Wow, so simple, inexpensive to make & taste great to 👢 I am gonna make this with my grandson next time he's here, which is in a couple of days 😊❤ Thank you, love you mucho.

My mom chilled a can of evaporated milk and mixed with sugar and kool-aid. I wish I new exactly how she made it. This looks delicious, going to try this. Thank you for sharing.

Yum!

I gave made several of these pies. I wasn't overly fond of the watermelon. My absolute favorite is black cherry. I enjoy your videos. Your recipes don't have ingredients that i've never heard of and not able to find in grocery stores. Thanks for all the wonderful new recipes. I have tried several and loved each one.

Thank you so much for this recipe my grand children came over today and we made this and they went crazy they just loved it. Thank you so much.

Thank you ! I am making these today ! Ooooweeee ❤ from Texas. ❤

Made this for a get-together. Also made the Kentucky Derby pie. Both were very good and popular. I like watching your videos.

I made this few weeks ago,with the cherry Kool aid very good.

I have made this pie a lot. It's very good ❤

Making. Thanks you both are great recipes always for sure. I’m looking for the green bean recipe, got beans will make this week. :)

TWANG, THAT SMILE SAID IT ALL ❤❤

Yes I have made this,it is so amazingly delicious 😋. It is so refreshing. Watermelon pie sounds so good.I will try that one.Thanks so much.😊

👍👍

I have company coming tomorrow, and even though I made 2 kinds of homemade chocolate candy, I remembered my 14 year old grandson doesn't care for chocolate; I remembered your kool-aid pie video, so tonight I'm whipping up a strawberry kool-aid pie. I have frozen strawberries that I thought might be nice to sweeten & puree and drizzle across slices to dress it up. Thanks for a last minute 4 ingredient dessert.

👍👍👍

So cool....aid

I make this, but instead of kool-aid mix, I use lemon juice, and lime juice. I also use extra creamy cool whip and i use more like 12 ounces of cool whip.

I am going to the store that looks very good ❤ God bless you ❤️

🔥🔥🔥

I am going to try this, I've never made anything like it before & it sounds so delicious. I bought a packet of black cherry Koolaide for my pie & will make it tomorrow 😉

What a Cute Lit’l recipe!
