Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 6 ounce pre-made graham cracker crust
  • 8 ounce cream cheese (softened)
  • 14 ounce container sweetened condensed milk
  • 0.13 ounce packet unsweetened black cherry kool-aid mix
  • 8 ounce container Cool Whip (thawed (+ 1 cup extra for optional garnish))
  • 8 maraschino cherries with stems

Instruction

  • Using a medium size mixing bowl and a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat the softened cream cheese for 1 minute until smooth.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk and continue mixing for 1 more minute until completely combined.
  • Sprinkle the kool-aid mix and continue mixing until the color is uniform.
  • Add the thawed cool whip and mix on low until the pie filling is well incorporated.
  • Spoon in and evenly spread the pie filling into the graham cracker crust. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. Once properly chilled, slice the pie into 8 slices.
  • Using either a decorators bag, or a quart size ziploc with a corner snipped off, pipe the extra cool whip in a nice swirl at the edge of the slices.
  • Place 1 cherry on top of each swirl of cool whip. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
