Scale
Whipped Topping
- 1 packet Kool Aid (any flavor) + 1 extra packet
- â…“ cup sugar
- ½ cup heavy cream
Kool Aid Base
- 2 packets Kool Aid (used as described on packaging)
- Ice cubes, as needed
Instructions
- Prepare the Whipped Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 packet of Kool Aid powder, ⅓ cup sugar, and ½ cup heavy cream. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed to whip the mixture until it thickens and stiff peaks form, creating a light, fluffy topping.

- Assemble the Drink: Pour the prepared Kool Aid base into two glasses, filling each about halfway. Add ice cubes to fill the glasses approximately two-thirds full to keep the drink chilled.
- Add Whipped Topping: Gently spoon the whipped cream mixture on top of each glass, creating a creamy layer above the Kool Aid base.
- Serve and Enjoy: Optionally stir the whipped topping and Kool Aid base together before drinking, or sip as layered for a refreshing, creamy treat.
Notes
- Choose your favorite Kool Aid flavor for a customized taste experience.
- Use chilled heavy cream for easier whipping.
- This recipe can be doubled or tripled for larger groups.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with whipped topping or use less sugar.
- Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy the whipped topping texture before it dissolves.
