Two Extra Ounces
FOUND by Lauren Vincelli in Richmond, Virginia
I found this on the floor at a restaurant on the day that USC beat Notre Dame 34-31. They beat them by one score in the last SEVEN seconds of the game. Everyone at the bar was so devastated that Notre Dame lost. I thought if they only had some Kool-Aid pie or at least knew what to do with the two extra ounces of whipped cream this recipe called for & maybe they would cheer up.

i like kool aid, but for some reason, this doesnt sound tempting at all

Emma in a state of confusion
looks tasty. think I'll make it. would you recommend a graham cracker crust or a quick-and-easy margarine-flour-water one?
+ April 17, 2007 12:20 AM +
Emily in Victoria, B.C.
I think they mean 1 x 8 oz, then the other 8oz gets used later; so there isn't an extra 2 oz...
+ April 17, 2007 12:32 AM +
mellisa in charlotte
i read this as calling for two 8 ounce containers of whipped cream. one goes into the pie mixture and one as the topping. but maybe that was just me...
+ April 17, 2007 12:40 AM +
Jaime in KY
Uh, i don't know what you're talking about with 2 extra ounces. she used all of them. the recipe calls for 2 8oz containers. the first line says to use 1 8oz container, and the last line says to use the other 8oz container. thats 2 8oz containers, with no extra 2 oz.

and this "famous" pie sounds disgusting.

stoat in a boat
Ewwwwwww!!!! This might just be the most disgusting pie ever created. The thing I like most about this find is that Amber can't decide on her main ingredient: whipped creams, whipcream or whipped cream?

I was at that game, and I rushed the field because we had it won...but alas, they made us leave and we lost. I'm still getting over it. Man, I wish I'd had some Kool Aid Pie--it may have helped.

That sounds good...just might have to try and make that.

Jane in Oakland CA
it is actually only 16 oz of whipped cream. Ingredient list reads 2 - 8 oz whipped creamS
You use 1-8 oz whipped cream in the pie and the other on the pie.

YUM!
+ April 17, 2007 02:38 AM +

I think it is supposed to say one 8 ounce whip cream and then top with the other 8 ounce whip cream. Not 18 ounces.
+ April 17, 2007 05:36 AM +
Odd Nick in Ca
I guess Amber is famous for her pie now. I wonder what flavor Koolaid this is supposed to be prepared with... How many of you are going to try this? Is it WhipCream, Whipped Creams, or perhaps whipping cream? Is it only whipped cream if it is whipped with whips?
+ April 17, 2007 05:56 AM +
it's too early in michigan
That is two 8 oz whipped creams. One of the 8 oz whipped creams is used with the kool aid to make the pie filling. The other 8 oz whipped cream is used on top.

PS I love how recipes always include something like "and eat" at the end of the directions - what else would I do with it?

This kool-aid pie sounds disgusting. Has anybody ever eaten it?
+ April 17, 2007 06:28 AM +
mathmagician in in the fridge
The recipe calls for 2 "8 oz" whipped creams. One of them is to mix in with the koolaid powder. The other is to spread on top. There is no leftover whipped cream. Why would everyone be so sad that Notre Dame lost?
+ April 17, 2007 06:35 AM +
Chuck Field in the land that time would like to forget
The way I read it, the pie takes two 8 oz containers of whipped cream. In the instructions, it's saying that the chef should mix 1 (one) 8 ounce whip cream with the condensed milk. Not 18 ounces. The other 8 ounces goes on top. Typical for these recipes. I think it's supposed to be non-dairy topping, possibly. I make this pie occasionally as follows - one 8 oz. non-dairy topping plus one can of sweetened condensed milk and 1/2 to 3/4 cup key lime juice. Mix well and pour into graham cracker crust. Refrigerate for a few hours and serve with a dollop of topping or real whipped cream.

Oh that sounds just disgusting!
+ April 17, 2007 07:04 AM +
nlitwiller in Indiana
I think the confusion is merely a matter of mis-punctuation. The recipe calls for 2 eight ounce cans of whipped creams. First one can is mixed in with the Kool-Aid, and condensed milk, and then topped with the other eight ounce can.

sorry to be a buzzkill.

Beeswax in the cupboard next to the good China
This sounds like one of those things that would be better with alcohol instead of milk. And I think the writer meant TWO containers (each being 8 ounces) of whipped cream, the first of which would be used in the pie, the second on it.

I can see it *possibly* with lemonade flavor... but can't imagine anything else. Grape? Ugh.

Do you know what's in that whipped topping? Mainly water, high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils. But my - it sure am tasty! (as an old Bull Durham tobacco ad said)

I LOVE the phrase "Kool Aid residue!" It sounds so gross!

+ April 17, 2007 08:04 AM +
smart in kidsville
Maybe I have been around too many kids, but I had no problem reading that recipe, and was confused by the misinterpretation of it. I was reading it thinking, well obviously you use one 8oz. package in the mixture, and one 8oz to top.

+ April 17, 2007 08:52 AM +
Allison in Brooklyn, NY
So this reminds me of a very similar Jell-O pie.... you add the whipped cream to strawberry Jell-O powder, put in a graham cracker shell, and then when it is set, top it with halved strawberries... if Kool-Aid pie tastes anything like Jell-O pie, then it is actually very yummy (despite sounding kinda gross)! :-) I might have to try this. Thanks, Amber!
+ April 17, 2007 09:04 AM +
Ash in Halifax, NS
I think this might actually be good with the right flavour. Personally, I think lime would be good, or lemon.. grape would be nasty as hell though.

Alice in VA
eeewwww ew ew ew ew!

when i started reading it, i thought it was going to be a joke, because the handwriting and the recipe name both seemed very fourth-grade... but reading on, i decided that no fourth-grader would coin the term, "kool-aid residue," no matter how awesome the fourth-grader might be.

regardless, i'm going to believe that amber is a maniacal genius who spends her free time writing up the most disgusting recipes she can think of, then leaving them lying around in hopes that people will try them and she can laugh at them. keep an eye out for "amber's famous rat-dropping soup."

Kool-Aid Point collector in my junk drawer searching for my points
I've got a couple thousand points hanging around from when I was a kid (and recently- I still drink Kool-Aid) ... too bad the stuff you can get with them is lame now. When I was 12, I tried REALLY hard to save up for that Dr. Mario game for my NES ...

How come nobody has thought to make it with STRAWBERRY Kool-Aid!?!? Lemonade, indeed.
+ April 17, 2007 09:11 AM +
Flargy in a big vat of procest cheez foode
Curious in Charlotte, when you take those "whipped topping" ingredients and add Kool-Aid mix, what you end up with is essentially a thick, quasi-dairy, non-carbonated soda substance.

So, what are you doing for dinner tonight?
+ April 17, 2007 09:24 AM +
bob in the dark underbelly of proctor & gamble
I tried the rat dropping soup... it tasted way better than the cool aid pie... next i'll try the homemade cheese from dog's milk recipe, that one sounds real good

KH in a sugar-induced coma
Maybe it's because it's early and I haven't had breakfast yet --- but that sounds gross. Not a single natural ingredient in that thing. I think the whipped cream in question is something like Cool Whip.

You could get the blue coloured Koolaid for this recipe. A fluffy blue pie. mmm. appetizing.

How about some FRUIT for dessert, Amber?!!
+ April 17, 2007 09:32 AM +
D in the kitchen, experimenting
I'm glad Amber added "....and eat" to the end of the instructions. Otherwise I might have been tempted to throw it at someone, or perhaps use it as a paperweight.

My mom makes me a similar pie whenever I come home. It uses Jello and whipped cream, and you can put it in a graham or oreo crust, depending on the flavor of Jello. It is fabulous, and, if pressed, I can seriously eat the whole thing. I suggest that everyone try it! :-)

I don't know if this is the most disgusting thing I've ever heard of, or if it sounds like JUST the RIGHT thing for a really, really hot day?
I love that it's not "Kool-Aid" pie but rather "Amber's FAMOUS" Kool-Aid pie.
Amber really knows what to do w/all that whipped cream.
This is funny and now I want to try it.
+ April 17, 2007 10:40 AM +
Jennifer in Canada
It doesn't sound that bad. I am assuming, of course, that the recipe is using "whipping cream" -- as in a small carton of cream used for whipping -- and not an already whipped product like cool-whip.
+ April 17, 2007 10:46 AM +
really in grossed out
blech. And somehow I feel like the name for this gross-ness is a lie, and that it's not famous at all. Not . . . at . . . all. Unless. . . she could just be commenting on how Amber is famous, then remembered a pie she could make to celebrate Amber's newfound celebrity status?

It's Cool Whip not whipping cream. It's famous enough to come up nealry half a million times when you Google it. But what makes it uniquely Amber's is that she uses twice as much whipped topping as everybody else. Barf.
+ April 17, 2007 11:47 AM +
Deluxx in the kitchen whipping cream
I'm pretty sure that when Amber refers to "whipped creams," she means Cool-Whip, or as they say, "non-dairy whipped topping." Let's be clear about this -- the pie is made with fake whipped cream, kool aid, and condensed milk. It must be insanely sweet and totally artificial. And probably secretly really good.
+ April 17, 2007 12:02 PM +

I'm going to bring this to my next office party. I think I'll bring a third container of Cool Whip for those who like extra.
+ April 17, 2007 12:06 PM +
sadsurvivor in http://sadsurvivor.blogspot.com/
So, clearly Amber isn't nice enough to recommend a flavor of kool-aid. But after going through all the comments, I'm thinking it should be strawberry kool-aid on an oreo crust.

I think eating this would obligate you to buy a mobile home. Or at least wash it down with a nice boxed wine.

Wendy, maybe it has something to do with the fact that when I was in middle school, I briefly dated a girl named Wendy who was missing half a leg. What if you turned out to be another 1.5-legged Wendy? There really aren't enough such girls to go around, so I've felt that it would be kind of greedy of me to focus my attentions on you. But since I'm so flattered that you asked, I'll be sure to send some cyber-winks your way.

That said, would you care to join me and Curious for some Smurf pie this evening?

This is why I don't spend a lot of time in the kitchen. I read it as 18oz too. I was quite confused and spent a little too much time trying to check the math... and the reason no one "read[s] the comment before [theirs]" is because sometimes it takes time for comments to be approved and appear on the list. It's possible that the 6 comments before the person who is repeating them didn't exist for them to look at yet.

plain is my favorite flavor.

Does Amber really expect people to have a scale and measure out the whipped topping by oz? What a judgenmental bitch. why 28 and 18 oz? you'd think the recipe could jsut say "a big glob" and "a somewhat smaller, but still disgustingly large glob"

Also, i think the extra two ounces are from her taking into accout the stuff you lick off your fingers while making the pie.

or, oh, wait... i get it it's 2 8 oz containters!!!

Top marks to "drifting in and out of consciousness," for writing:

And to "Jo in T-Town," who said: "Hell, this is what we call a Okie Weddin' Cake!!!!"

And of course to Lauren Vincelli for finding this wonderful recipe and submitting it to FOUND.

Depending on your nutritional prejudices and predilections, I hear that it's actually quite delicious and good for you if you replace the Kool Aid in this recipe with your first urine of the morning.
