Kool-Aid Pie

Recently, a friend of mine who knows I love to cook asked me if I had a recipe for Kool-Aid Pie. I'd never heard of such a thing, so I went online and the first hit was something that sounded right to her.

Fast forward three days. I'm semi-sick, and dear friends are coming over and bringing most of dinner with them. I need to come up with side dishes (simple - roasted corn and roasted potatoes. I was semi-sick!) and something for dessert. So I thought hmmmm... Kool-Aid Pie. I'll make it!

My thoughts? First, it was very simple to make. Second, it was sweet sweet sweet (I did just notice this when re-googling for the first link - guess I should have let it sit a day, but if I have TIME to make something ahead of time, it's going to be fancier than Kool-Aid pie!). Third, about 2/3 of the people who were here finished their pieces, so it didn't suck completely.

The final verdict is that this is an acceptable dessert. I think if I needed to make it again, I'd substitute the condensed milk with evaporated milk (to cut the sweetness) and reduce the amount of milk used, so as to not water it down. It was nice and fluffy, and for a very middle-American dessert, it was pretty okay.

I used pink lemonade Kool-Aid mix, by the way. That I don't think I'd change.
