Ingredients in Whipped Kool-Aid

Just a few simple ingredients come together to create this show-stopping treat. Let’s break it down:

Kool-Aid Powder

This is the star of the show! Pick your favorite flavor (like tropical punch, cherry, or blue raspberry), and get ready for that burst of fruity goodness.

Sweetened Condensed Milk

This makes everything creamy and just the right amount of sweet. It’s the perfect counterpart to the tangy Kool-Aid powder.

Heavy Whipping Cream

Whipped to perfection, this brings the fluffy texture that makes this treat so fun to eat. It gives that melt-in-your-mouth feeling with every spoonful.

Sugar

We’ll use a little sugar to add extra sweetness. (Don’t worry, it’s not too much, just enough to balance the flavors.)

Instructions

Let’s get to the good stuff—making this whipped magic:

Whip the Cream

In a large mixing bowl, pour in your heavy whipping cream. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip it on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Keep an eye on it so you don’t overwhip!

Add the Sweetened Condensed Milk and Kool-Aid

Once your cream is whipped to soft peaks, add in the sweetened condensed milk and Kool-Aid powder. You can also add a little sugar here if you want it extra sweet. Mix it all together on low speed until fully combined. You’ll want to make sure the Kool-Aid powder dissolves completely for an even, bright flavor.

Whip Until Fluffy

Now, bump up the speed to medium-high again and continue whipping for another 1–2 minutes, until everything is light, fluffy, and perfectly combined. You’ll see it turn into that gorgeous whipped texture.

Serve and Enjoy

Scoop your whipped Kool-Aid into bowls or parfait glasses. You can garnish with a few fruit slices or even a tiny drizzle of sweetened condensed milk for an extra treat. Then, dive in and enjoy!
