Powdered Kool-Aid can be added to white buttercream to impart concentrated fruity flavor and vivid color without separate food coloring or extracts. One full packet mixed into store-bought or homemade buttercream and whipped with a hand mixer until soft peaks form produces a smooth, velvety, slightly tangy frosting with a strong fruity aroma. The crystals may appear dark at first but lighten as they blend. More than fifteen flavors provide many pairing options, from cherry cola on vanilla cake to orange on chocolate or lemon. Kool-Aid frosting works on cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and for rimming drink glasses.
Adding Kool-Aid, which began exclusively as a drink but is now sold in powder form, not only boosts flavor, but it also gives a vibrant color, making your sweet treats pop and impress any crowd. By using different powders, your frostings can vary in taste, texture, and hue without the need for added food coloring or extracts. The packet does double duty, delivering both bold flavor and rich color.
Grab a bowl of white buttercream frosting (store-bought works fine) and mix in one full packet of your favorite Kool-Aid. While the crystals may look dark at first, they lighten up as you blend. Use a hand mixer to whip the frosting until soft peaks form. The result is a smooth, velvety, and slightly tangy frosting with a punch of fruity aroma.
With over 15 Kool-Aid flavors, such as cherry, mango, blue raspberry, green apple, and pink lemonade, you've got a lot of creative combos to try out. If you want to make your desserts kool-er, then listen up because the flavor and color duos are nearly endless. Kool-Aid frosting isn't just for cakes; it also works great on cookies, cupcakes, or even for rimming fun drink glasses.
