Popular TikTok Food Trends[edit]

Dalgona Coffee[edit]

Dalgona coffee, also known as whipped coffee, became a viral sensation on TikTok during the COVID-19 pandemic. The drink is made by whipping equal parts of instant coffee, sugar, and hot water until it becomes creamy, and then adding it to cold or hot milk. The trend originated in South Korea and quickly spread globally.

Cloud Bread[edit]

Cloud bread is a light, airy bread made primarily from egg whites, sugar, and cornstarch. Its fluffy texture and pastel colors made it a popular trend on TikTok. The bread is often dyed with food coloring to create visually appealing results.

Hot Chocolate Bombs[edit]

Hot chocolate bombs are hollow chocolate spheres filled with cocoa powder and marshmallows. When placed in a mug and covered with hot milk, the chocolate melts, releasing the contents and creating a rich hot chocolate drink. This trend gained popularity for its interactive and visually satisfying preparation.

Mini Pancake Cereal[edit]

Mini pancake cereal involves making tiny pancakes and serving them in a bowl like cereal. This trend became popular due to its novelty and the fun of eating pancakes in a new way. Users often add milk, syrup, or fruit to enhance the dish.

Baked Feta Pasta[edit]

Baked feta pasta is a simple dish that involves baking a block of feta cheese with cherry tomatoes and olive oil, then mixing it with cooked pasta. The trend started in Finland and became a global sensation due to its ease of preparation and delicious taste.

Texas Caviar[edit]

Texas caviar, also known as cowboy caviar, is a salad made from black-eyed peas, corn, and other vegetables, dressed in a vinaigrette. This dish gained popularity on TikTok for its fresh ingredients and versatility as a dip or side dish.

Water Pie[edit]

Water pie is a Depression-era dessert that became popular on TikTok for its simplicity and historical significance. It is made with water, sugar, butter, and flour, creating a custard-like filling in a pie crust.
