OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that you don’t end up with lumps in the creamy filling.

STEP TWO: Add the sweetened condensed milk and continue mixing for 1 more minute until thoroughly combined.

STEP THREE: Sprinkle in the packet of Kool-Aid mix and continue mixing until the color is uniform.

STEP FOUR: Add the thawed Cool Whip and mix on low until the pie filling is well incorporated. 

STEP FIVE: Evenly spread the pie filling into the prepared graham cracker pie crust. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. Once properly chilled, slice the pie into 8 slices.

STEP SIX: Using either a decorator’s bag or a quart-size Ziploc with a corner snipped off, pipe the extra Cool Whip in a nice swirl on top of the pie at the edge of the slices.

STEP SEVEN: Place 1 cherry on top of each swirl of Cool Whip. Keep chilled until ready to serve.

How To Serve

This delicious dessert would be the perfect recipe to make and take to a potluck on a hot summer day. Of course, you don’t have to limit this perfect dessert to the summer months. This delightful pie would be delicious year-round.

Storage

IN THE FRIDGE: Store leftovers of this delicious pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. 

IN THE FREEZER: You can freeze the pie, without the Cool Whip and cherry garnish, for up to 1 month. Cover the pie tightly with aluminum foil before freezing. Allow the pie to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

If you are using the plastic cover from the graham cracker crust, and you are freezing the pie, tightly wrap the pie with the plastic lid in a layer of aluminum foil.

I am a huge fan of no-bake desserts partly because my kids can make them with minimal help from the grown-ups. This cherry Kool-Aid pie is a sweet treat made with simple ingredients and a welcome addition to any meal.
