Y'all ready to make an easy no bake ice
0:04
box Kool-Aid pie? What's your flavor?
0:08
There's lots of them to choose from to
0:10
make this creamy, fluffy, delicious
0:13
homemade pie with only four ingredients.
0:18
We are not using the stove or the oven
0:20
today. With this summer heat, there's no
0:23
need for a stove or oven for this
0:26
recipe. You may even have to make a few
0:29
of them so you can have lots of flavors.
0:32
Now that you're drooling over this pie,
0:34
let's put it together. Did you like what
0:37
you saw? Perfect for summertime and the
0:40
flavors. There's so many to pick from.
0:43
What is your favorite? I'm doing
0:45
strawberry today because we have our
0:47
people coming and I want to kind of keep
0:49
it centralized to the flavor. If I had
0:52
my way, it would be an orange cream. My
0:54
husband's would be a watermelon. Now,
0:57
years ago, I made this same recipe for
1:00
you guys, and I mean many, many years
1:02
ago, and I did black cherry, and it was
1:06
scrumptious. Okay, to get started,
1:09
you're going to need a large mixing
1:11
bowl. One can of sweetened condensed
1:15
milk. It's 14 oz.
1:19
One pack of unsweetened Kool-Aid. This
1:22
is4
1:24
oz size.
1:26
And a whisk. And that'll get us started.
1:28
To our large mixing bowl, we're going to
1:30
add in our one can of sweetened
1:33
condensed milk.
1:39
Yeah. Give that a try. You'll like it.
1:43
Mhm.
1:45
Now, I'm using the Eagle brand sweetened
1:49
condensed milk.
1:51
You can use whatever brand you like.
1:58
Make sure you get it all out of there.
2:04
Yum.
2:06
All right, you know what's next?
2:08
Let's put in the one pack of Kool-Aid.
2:13
This is an unsweetened drink mix.
2:18
I can smell that strawberry right off
2:19
the bat.
2:21
All right, we're going to pour that in.
2:26
Now, I'm going to use a whisk. We want
2:29
to get this all blended together. You
2:31
don't want any streaks,
2:33
any slurries in there. No clumps. We
2:36
want it nice and smooth. The same color
2:38
running all the way through it.
2:46
Oo, look at the color of that.
2:49
Get on in there.
2:51
Now, that's going to lighten up as we
2:54
add
2:56
another ingredient to that. Going to
2:58
bring my spatula back over. I'm just
2:59
going to clean it off a little bit
3:00
because we don't want any streaks in
3:02
there. There we go. Now it's nice and
3:04
clean and we won't have streaks there.
3:06
Look at this. Yum.
3:08
Okay, the next ingredient that we're
3:11
going to use is Cool Whip. Now, you want
3:13
to make sure this is thought out and you
3:16
have 8 oz.
3:18
Now, if this is too sweet for you, you
3:22
can make your own homemade whipped
3:24
topping
3:26
and keep all the sweeteners out of it.
3:29
You would need 8 ounces of heavy
3:32
whipping cream. Put it in a bowl. Get
3:34
your electric hand mixer. Beat it until
3:37
you get nice soft peaks in it.
3:41
More firm than loose when you do that.
3:44
But otherwise, you just need one carton
3:47
of this. Thought out overnight.
3:50
And then we're going to add it.
3:58
Get it all out of there.
4:04
Let me show y'all what I was using.
4:07
Now, they have the creamy variety. I'm
4:10
using the original because the creamy
4:12
tends to be a little looser, which the
4:14
original here will tighten it up a
4:15
little bit.
4:17
We're going to fold in the Cool Whip
4:19
into our condensed milk Kool-Aid
4:21
mixture. So, you go to the bottom, pull
4:25
it up, and fold it in halfway. And then
4:27
just push it in. And keep doing that
4:31
until we have no streaks of that Cool
4:33
Whip in there. We have a smooth mixture.
4:38
We don't want to lose any air that's in
4:40
that Cool Whip. So if you go in and you
4:43
start whisking it in really good, you're
4:45
going to lose a lot of the air and it
4:47
won't be a very tall pie
4:51
or fluffy. So keep that in mind. It's
4:54
going to take a little arm work here to
4:56
get that in.
4:58
I know summer is everywhere right now
5:00
and we're looking for things we don't
5:02
need to cook. We don't need to bake. Can
5:05
y'all see Bailey? There she is. Hey,
5:08
sweetie.
5:10
Y'all, she's 12 years old and has always
5:12
been my pal in the kitchen.
5:15
Isn't she just the prettiest thing? She
5:17
is a full-blown beagle.
5:21
Yes, you are, aren't you? Yes,
5:24
she's our best friend in the kitchen,
5:27
huh? Yes. All right. Look at that. Look
5:30
at that color. Make sure you get to the
5:32
bottom. Pull everything up. Get down
5:34
there and look. Oh my goodness. How
5:37
about just a spoon? Right. Make sure I
5:40
get all my sides.
5:43
What's next?
5:46
Yeah, my husband's not here right now.
5:48
He'd be all in that, wouldn't he?
5:51
probably this right here. Now, I'm using
5:54
a 9 in crust. It's a readymade crust,
5:58
which means there's nothing to do to it
6:00
in your oven. You don't have to make
6:02
anything. We're going to be using the
6:05
graham cracker flavor, but you can use
6:08
anything you want. If you want to use a
6:11
sugar cookie crust, make your own crust
6:14
that has no sweeteners in it, you can do
6:16
that also. Now, these ready-made crust
6:20
come with a lid that you can put on your
6:22
pie. You're just going to pull out the
6:25
paper from on the inside of the lid.
6:30
And generally,
6:32
they have a recipe on the back.
6:35
Take the gum pieces off that held this
6:38
on. And then what you're going to do is
6:40
just rinse that out really good so that
6:42
nothing gets onto your pie from there.
6:45
They give you a recipe in here for
6:47
pumpkin pie. We getting closer to the
6:49
holidays. Not yet. I'm not so sure that
6:53
I've had a pumpkin pie and a graham
6:55
cracker crust. If y'all have, let me
6:58
know what you think of the flavor of
6:59
that. Maybe we'll make it for the
7:01
holidays. All right. Now that you have
7:03
your crust ready, you want to make make
7:05
sure that it is cooked all the way
7:07
through if you're using another type of
7:09
crust. Okay. We're going to take our
7:11
Cool Whip, Kool-Aid, and a sweetened
7:14
condensed milk mixture.
7:16
Put it right into our pie crust.
7:23
Scrape all that off. That's a bite of
7:26
pie right here. And there's the other
7:28
bite.
7:31
You're going to want to make several of
7:33
these pies.
7:35
Different flavors, especially if you're
7:37
going to take it somewhere, cuz it's
7:38
going to go quick. I'm going to even it
7:40
out. I'm going to keep the edging of the
7:42
pie crust
7:44
so people can see it. However you want
7:47
to swirl or decorate your pie. I'm going
7:49
to give it some lines here. Y'all can
7:52
see that.
7:56
Now, you want to make sure that you
7:58
cover your pie.
8:05
Now, if you're going to make your own
8:07
pie crust, just make sure you cool it
8:09
completely before you put in your
8:11
mixture. This is perfect for the
8:13
summertime if you need to bring anything
8:15
for a picnic, a potluck, a church
8:18
gathering,
8:19
anything.
8:21
Ours is just going to stay home with us.
8:26
We're going to place it in the
8:27
refrigerator cuz this is an ice box
8:29
dessert. It'll sit up for 2 hours to
8:33
overnight.
8:34
You bet you ours is going to be like two
8:36
hours. Thomas will be back by then and
8:38
we're going to give this one a try for
8:40
you.
9:00
Fluffy, creamy deliciousness there. Got
9:04
some ready whip on it. There we go. I
9:08
just made a little fan. We need a fork.
9:11
Let's give this a try. That's beautiful
9:13
for summertime. Look at that.
9:26
I can taste that strawberry in there.
9:29
