Cooking Tips

  • Choose bold Kool-Aid flavors for vivid color and taste.
  • For a tangier pie, add a tablespoon of lemon or lime juice to the mix.
  • Want a firmer texture? Pop the pie into the freezer for 1 hour before serving.
  • You can use sugar-free Kool-Aid for a slightly lighter version.
