Ingredients
Scale
Whipped Topping
- 1 packet Kool Aid (any flavor)
- â…“ cup sugar
- ½ cup heavy cream
Drink Base
- 1 packet Kool Aid (for drink base)
- Water (quantity as per Kool Aid packet instructions, typically 2 cups)
- Additional sugar as per Kool Aid packet instructions
- Ice cubes, as needed
Instructions
- Prepare Whipped Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 packet of Kool Aid powder, ⅓ cup sugar, and ½ cup heavy cream. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the mixture on medium-high speed until it thickens and stiff peaks form, creating a light, fluffy topping.
- Make Kool Aid Base: Follow the instructions on the second Kool Aid packet to prepare the drink base, usually by mixing the powder with the specified amount of water and sugar as indicated on the packet.
- Assemble Drinks: Pour the prepared Kool Aid drink base into two glasses, filling each about halfway. Add ice cubes to fill the glasses approximately two-thirds full to keep the drink chilled.
- Add Whipped Topping: Gently spoon the whipped cream mixture on top of each glass, creating a creamy layer above the Kool Aid.
- Serve and Enjoy: Optionally stir the whipped topping and Kool Aid base together before drinking, or enjoy the layered textures separately for a refreshing, creamy beverage.
Notes
- Use any Kool Aid flavor you prefer to customize the taste.
- For a less sweet version, reduce the sugar in the whipped topping or drink base.
- Ensure the heavy cream is cold for better whipping results.
- Serve immediately for best texture of the whipped topping.
- Can be served with or without stirring the layers together.
