Easy Kool-Aid Sherbet is the perfect summertime treat! You can make any flavor you want and you only need three ingredients!

Easy Kool-Aid Sherbet has become a favorite treat around my house now that summer is finally here! When it’s hot outside, nothing cools you off better than a frozen treat. This recipe is so simple that your kids can help make it! My kids have loved getting to pick out and try all of their favorite flavors – so far, watermelon is our favorite!

EASY KOOL-AID SHERBET

1 pkg Kool-Aid mix, any flavor
1 cup sugar
3 cups milk (I used 1% because that’s what we usually have, but I’m sure any kind would work)

In a large bowl, whisk together all three ingredients until sugar and Kool-Aid mix is dissolved. Pour into a shallow dish, cover and then place in the freezer for about 2 hours, or until mostly set.
Place the partially frozen sherbet back in a bowl and mix with an electric mixer until smooth. Refreeze in the covered, shallow container until set (at least a few hours, I freeze mine overnight). Set the sherbet out about 10-15 minutes prior to serving to make it easier to scoop.

I am wondering if this could be sweetened using Equal and also Almondmilk instead of real milk. Think I am gonna give it a try.

- Nellie June 8, 2017 at 11:49 am
  
  I think it would probably work fine - let me know how it goes!

Do you think that almond milk or coconut milk would work?

- Nellie June 8, 2017 at 11:48 am
  
  I am guessing that it would work just fine - that additional flavor would probably be delicious!

im trying it out today. curiuos about the calories.

- Nellie June 23, 2017 at 4:18 pm
  
  I calculated about 190 calories per 1/2 cup serving and that is using 1% milk. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm from the UK. Where can I get these Kool-Aid mixes from? Want to try these for grandchildren.

  They're fruit drink mixes that you ad sugar to... maybe check your store and see if you have anything similar? If all else fails, Amazon has EVERYTHING. ;)

Could you use crystal light and omit the sugar in the recipe?

- Nellie July 6, 2017 at 12:55 pm
  
  I haven't tried that but it sounds like a great idea! Let me know if it works!

Has anyone used their icecream maker for this

- JustaskKo July 18, 2017 at 4:20 pm
  
  I made this with my ice cream maker, but you will still need to put in freezer for additional two hours to hard set.

I made this 3 times using splenda. Very good. Do you think root beer extract could be used instead of kool aid? If so, how much? My husband really likes root beer.

- Nellie July 26, 2017 at 9:07 pm
  
  I'm glad it worked with Splenda! I have no idea how that would work with root beer extract but that sounds delicious! Let us know how it works out!
