Today I am posting a recipe that is not only an old recipe, but a cheap one as well. I remember making Kool- Aid Pie long before I ever had children. I cant remember exactly where I got this recipe, I just know it is so good! Not only is it the perfect summer treat, it is also pretty easy on the pocket book. The whole pie cost just around $4 to make. The flavor possibilities for this pie are endless. Our favorites are lemonade, lime, tropical punch, orange, strawberry and pink lemonade. For today's post I chose to make a Strawberry Kool -Aid Pie, I have also added a picture of the Lemonade Pie that we made as well.
Sorry a little correction on that. Today I am Introducing........................ Guest Blogger Carson to Mommy's Kitchen!!!!! I hope everyone is ready Carson is going to show everyone just how easy it is to make this wonderful pie. Why does Carson want to be guest blogger???? I asked Carson and he gave me two pretty good reasons. One I really really want to be on that computer all by myself. And two I know I can make this pie and mom I want to lick the spoon after? How could I say no to those answers. Without further delay here is Guest Blogger Carson showing you how to make Creamy Kool - Aid Pie. 
These are the ingredients you will need:1 - 8 oz cool whip or generic whipped topping, 1 packet kool-aid of your choice, 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk, 1 - graham cracker crust and One Very Sweet Handsome Helper! In my opinion the pie just wouldn't be the same without him. Watch out Carson is armed with his trusty whisk.
Lets start by adding the cool whip to a large bowl.
Have mom help open the can of sweetened condensed milk, then add on top of the cool whip. Some people say to add the cool whip last, but remember I am not making the pie so I cant put my 2 cents in this time.
add the kool aid
and mix with a wire whisk, whew this was the hardest part I got so tired. Carson said wow look how pretty.
add all the filling to the graham cracker crust. Mom might need to help you out a bit, it was a lot harder than I thought. It kept sticking to the spatula, can I lick the spatula yet? Not quite Carson.
Mommy helped add the filling and put a strawberry on top.
Um finally I can have the spatula. YÜMMY!
I get the first piece because I made it. Ü 
Strawberry Kool -Aid Pie
1 - 8 ounce tub of Cool Whip Whipped Topping
1 - 14 ounce can of Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 - pack of Kool -Aid (unsweetened)
1 - 9 inch Graham Cracker Pie Crust
1 - 14 ounce can of Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 - pack of Kool -Aid (unsweetened)
1 - 9 inch Graham Cracker Pie Crust
Add all the ingredients together and pour into a prepared graham cracker crust. Chill about 2 hours then serve.
The flavor possibilities are endless my favorites are
Lemon, Strawberry, Tropical Fruit, Orange & Pink Lemonade.
* You can also use a bit of food coloring for pies like lemononade. Fruit can be added if you want. Maybe some strawberries for strawberry pie or sliced bananas on the bottom of the crust and then pour strawberry flavor on top. You can experiment all you want.

* For the lemonade pie pictured above I added about 6 drops of yellow food coloring and about 1/4 cup regular sugar to tone down a bit of the tartness.

That looks great Carson. (and Tina)
I wonder how it would taste with black cherry kool aid because that's the favorite around here.
My boyfriend's mother fed me this over the weekend. It really is GOOD. We had lemon but she whipped the milk instead of adding Whipped topping!
It is so simple and can be made to be a lot better for you if you use the Crystal Light type packets.
Good job Carson! This skill will come in handy later in life!
He is just too cute!
Oooh, that looks really good! Perfect pie for a big helper. :-)

That looks great! And what a handsome little blogger!
I made the strawberry kool aid pie with my kids last night and it was a huge hit!
It's so easy too!
Thanks!

Yeah Amy! I am so glad the kids liked it. I took two of them to a grill out with friends. It took no time to throw together + the kids can help. So many flavors to experiement with.
My gosh, that looks good!! I'm going to have to get my own little guest blogger to help me.
Yay to Carson! The girls are gonna eat him up.
How cute! This looks so creamy and delicious, a real family pleaser!
Yummy I'm making this
i made this pie last weekend (had to make 2) my family loved it!!!
Just wanted to say I have finally made this pie, and I will be posting my picture (I used cherry koolaid) and reference to you and your recipe come my "Pink Saturday" post on either Aug. 7th or 8th. I did lick the spatula so far and it sure did taste good to me already! It's chilling in the fridge now for serving after dinner tonight! Thanks again for sharing your recipe! ~tina
Beansieleigh I cant wait to see it. I am making a orange one today. My little guy requested it.
Just discovered your blog and your recipe, courtesey of Beansieleigh!
You have some amazing recipes - my husband's become quite the experimental the cook lately, and is quite excited to try some of your recipes - the green tomato recipe especially.
However, being in the UK I'm wondering about the Graham Cracker base... I wonder if we could improvise with crushed digestive biscuits or something. Ditto the Cool Whip - I used to see this on sale in the UK but haven't for a while. Although I've seen Dream Topping in packet mixes, so this would probably be very similar. Now all I have to do is Google for Coolaid in the UK.
Thank goodness I can get the condensed milk! At least one ingredient is easy to obtain! I'm DYING to try this one myself. Please tell Carson "thank you" and "well done"! (What a cutie. Probably best not to tell him that, lol - he looks to be That Age...)
I mad an orange pie and added mandatin oranges and crushed pineapple, drained well. So yummy!!
Great work. have you tried to networking with the moms in the bizymoms Carson community.

I think this would be great in the mini graham cracker shells. I can't wait to try it with my 3 1/2 grandson Braeyn.
