Kool Aid Slushie

This Kool Aid slushie is made by mixing fruit-flavored Kool Aid with sweetener and freezing the mixture until solid. Once frozen, it is crushed or stirred into a slushy, icy dessert with a vibrant color and refreshing texture. The final dish is a colorful, crunchy-on-the-outside, cold-on-the-inside frozen treat perfect for hot days.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup lemon-lime Kool Aid powder or any fruit flavor
  • 1 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • 4 cups water

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Freezer
  • Fork or spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Serving glasses

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the Kool Aid powder and sugar, stirring until the sugar partially dissolves and the mixture appears evenly colored.
  2. Pour in the water gradually, whisking continuously to ensure the sugar and Kool Aid fully dissolve and the liquid becomes bright and uniform.
  3. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if desired, adding more sugar for a sweeter slushie.
  4. Pour the mixture into the freezer-safe container, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Place the container in the freezer and freeze for about 3 hours, or until the mixture is solid and firm.
  6. Remove the frozen Kool Aid from the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly.
  7. Using a fork or spoon, scrape or stir the frozen block to create a fluffy, slush-like texture with small ice crystals.
  8. Serve the Kool Aid slushie in glasses, garnishing with a slice of lemon or a colorful straw for a fun presentation.

Notes

For a finer texture, you can re-freeze and scrape multiple times. Feel free to experiment with different Kool Aid flavors and sweetness levels.
