Whipped Kool-Aid is a fun, colorful, and easy-to-make treat that combines the classic flavor of Kool-Aid with a fluffy, whipped texture. This sweet dessert is perfect for parties, especially Halloween or summer gatherings. It’s a fun way to enjoy Kool-Aid in a new, creamy form!
Ingredients
- 1 packet of Kool-Aid (any flavor you like, such as Cherry, Tropical Punch, or Grape)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Prepare the Whipped Cream:
- In a mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
- Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form (this should take about 3–5 minutes). The whipped cream should be light and fluffy.
- Add the Kool-Aid Flavor:
- Once the whipped cream is ready, gently fold in the Kool-Aid packet of your choice. The Kool-Aid will give the whipped cream a vibrant color and burst of fruity flavor.
- Mix until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much.
- Serve the Whipped Kool-Aid:
- Spoon the whipped Kool-Aid into small cups, bowls, or jars. You can also serve it in individual mini dessert cups for a fun party presentation.
- Optionally, top with extra whipped cream or colorful sprinkles for added flair.
- Chill and Enjoy!
- Refrigerate the whipped Kool-Aid for about 30 minutes to let it set up even more before serving, but it can also be served immediately.
Tips for Extra Fun:
- Experiment with Different Flavors: Try different Kool-Aid flavors for a variety of colors and tastes. Mix two or more flavors together for a fun, swirled effect.
- Add Fruit: For a twist, fold in diced fresh fruit like berries or even marshmallows to add texture and extra sweetness.
- Make it a Parfait: Layer the whipped Kool-Aid with other dessert elements like crushed graham crackers, fruit, or ice cream for a fun parfait-style treat.
