Scale

Instructions
- Mix the filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, strawberry syrup (or jelly), and Kool Aid powder. Whisk together until the Kool Aid is fully dissolved and the mixture is evenly colored. Then, gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the filling becomes creamy and smooth.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the prepared Kool Aid filling into the 9-inch graham cracker pie crust. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly across the crust.
- Chill the pie: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap to protect it and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing the filling to set properly.
- Garnish and serve: Once set, garnish the pie with additional whipped cream or whipped topping and fresh strawberries. Slice and serve chilled for a refreshing dessert experience.
