Calories: 410kcal
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 0.13 ounce unsweetened black cherry Kool-Aid mix
- 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed (plus 1 cup extra for optional garnish)
- 6 ounces pre-made graham cracker crust
- 8 maraschino cherries with stems
Instructions
- Using a medium-sized mixing bowl and a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat the softened cream cheese for 1 minute until smooth.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk and continue mixing for 1 more minute until completely combined.
- Sprinkle in the Kool-Aid mix and continue mixing until the color is uniform.
- Add the thawed Cool Whip and mix on low until the pie filling is well incorporated.
- Evenly spread the pie filling into the graham cracker crust. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. Once properly chilled, slice the pie into 8 slices.
- 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 at the edge of the slices.
- Place 1 cherry on top of each swirl of Cool Whip. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
Notes
- Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that you don’t end up with lumps in the creamy filling.
- You can use the plastic cover on the graham cracker crust as the lid for the pie. Remove the paper center on the lid.
- When making this pie with another Kool-Aid flavor of this tasty pie, be sure to garnish it with the corresponding canned or fresh fruit.
