November's Featured Recipe: Kool-Aid Pie



Good Morning,

I's just past 8 a.m., cinnamon rolls are baking in the oven, and my tea kettle is whispering a sweet whistle on the stove top.  There's just a little nip in the air as our temperature is sits at a brisk 34°F. I'm fixin' on throwing some logs on the fire as soon as I get up out of my comfy chair because *Burr* it's cold this mornin'!

This morning I am pleased to feature a family favorite shared by one of our cousins in Georgia, Anne Marie! "It is Very simple & easy to make :)!", Says Anne Marie. 

Personally, I can't wait to sink my teeth into it! I think one of the best things about this pie is that most of the ingredients are already in your pantry!
Kool-Aid Pie
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 envelope Kool-Aid, any flavor you choose
  • 1 tub Cool Whip
  • 1 graham cracker crust
Directions:
  1. Combine sweetened condensed milk and envelope of Kool-Aid with electric mixer on low. 
  2. Fold in Cool Whip. 
  3. Add to graham cracker crust. 
  4. Chill for 2 hours & Serve :)
     Note: Garnish the top of your pie with sliced strawberries! Yum! 

Graham Cracker Pie Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the crumbs and sugar; add melted butter and blend well with your hands
  2. . Press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-inch pie plate.
  3. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before filling, or bake at 375 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until crust is lightly browned. 
  4. Cool on a wire rack before filling. 
Note: For a little spice sprinkle some Cinnamon, Nutmeg or All-Spice into the crumb mixture before adding melted butter!
Well I best be gettin' back to making my Thanksgiving Pies before our guests arrive! My brood of kids are quickly tidying up their rooms so they don't miss the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade which is fixin' on airing on TV in about 15-minutes! 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!
