How to Make Kool Aid Ice Cream
Step 1. First, get a large mixing bowl out. Put all of the ingredients in the bowl and whisk together until the sugar and Kool Aid packet have been dissolved. Fold together until well combined.
Step 2. Second, pour the mixture into a shallow cake pan. Freeze for a couple of hours until the ice cream is mostly set. It normally takes about 2 hours.
Step 3. Next, put the mixture into a large bowl and mix until it is very smooth. Use an electric mixer on medium high speed.
Step 4. Once everything is mixed, put the ice cream mixture back into the cake pan. Refreeze for another couple of hours until completely frozen. Normally it takes about 2-3 hours but after 1-2 hours should start to firm.
Storage
Place the ice cream inside a freezer-safe container with a lid. Freeze up to a week. It will last longer but the layers will not taste as fresh.
Pro Tips
- I love my stand mixer, but a hand mixer will work too.
- You need to use a shallow pan. If you use a pan that is too deep, the ice cream will take longer to set.
- Don’t skip the step that requires the ice cream to be mixed. This helps the ice cream to have the right consistency.
- Make sure to grab the unsweetened kool-aid envelope.
- Store in a freezer safe container to ensure freshness.
Flavor ideas
- Blue Raspberry
- Grape
- Strawberry
- Lemonade
- Orange
These are just a few ideas as the possibilities are endless with Kool-Aid flavors. It is really fun to make several different flavors and serve different scoops.
It looks so pretty with a strawberry layer, grape, and anything you love. You get to enjoy more delicious flavors.

Recipe Notes
Nutrition Facts
Wondering if the individual water flavor packets can be used instead of cool aid. They have a strawberry watermelon flavor I’d love to try with your recipe. Thanks for sharing! We made homemade ice cream when I was a kid. I only ever remember making one flavor, vanilla. Butter pecan is my favorite today. Used to be dark chocolate.
I haven’t tried that, but I get it works great.
What size package of koolaid do you use for this ice cream?
