Recipe Notes & Tips
While this pie has a slightly sour taste, it’s not too overpowering. However, if you’re not too big on sour things, you can use half a packet of each type of Kool-Aid instead of the full packet. You’ll still get the flavor without all the sourness.
You’ll need to place your pie in the freezer for each color. If you fail to do so, the colors will begin bleeding into one another, creating a bit of a mess that you’re going to want to avoid.
Feel free to use any specific flavors of Kool-Aid that you prefer. However, make sure that the colors are going to look good together to give this treat a bright, bold, and colorful appearance.
How to Store Your Kool Aid Pie
After preparing this layered pie, cover it or place it in a large airtight container, sealing it with a lid and placing it in the fridge or freezer to keep it fresh. If you store it in the freezer, you can keep it there for up to three months before you’d need to remove it and eat it, which means you can make this dessert days, weeks, or even months in advance and serve it when you want it. If you’re keeping it in the fridge, this layered pie lasts for up to five days.
Common Questions
