How to Make Whipped Kool-Aid Drink

Step 1: Make the Whipped Topping
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Kool-Aid powder, sugar, and heavy whipping cream.

Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip on high speed until soft peaks form.

Step 2: Prep the Glasses
Fill two tall glasses halfway with the prepared Kool-Aid drink, then top with ice cubes until about two-thirds full.

Step 3: Add the Whipped Kool-Aid Cream
Spoon the whipped Kool-Aid topping over the drinks.

Be generous – the creamy layer is the fun part!

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon.

Stir gently if you want the whipped topping to blend into the drink, or enjoy it layered.
