The whipped coffee trend took over the world after @imhannahcho made it for her mom and posted the making process on her channel.
She combined equal parts of instant coffee, sugar, and hot water and whipped until the mixture turned into an airy cloud-like caramel-colored substance. Then she filled a glass with some ice, poured in milk, and topped it with the beautiful whipped mixture. It looked glorious!

Pink Sauce quickly gained viral popularity on TikTok after its creator, Chef Pii, posted videos of her eating the sauce.
The bright pink hue captivated people's attention. Still, confusion also grew as more details about this new food product were scarce- leaving customers skeptical and unable to buy without knowing exactly how it tastes or if their concerns have been addressed by purchasing one themselves!
The secret list of ingredients and some drama with the first batch of sauce being sent in improper packaging caused a lot of controversy around this viral food item.
It's still unclear if the sauce will get FDA approved and go into mass production. But if you must have this Insta-worthy hot pink condiment, just make it yourself and save yourself some money and time.

Keep in mind that the recipe is spicy with a whole tablespoon of red chili flakes. So make it if you enjoy spicy food, or take the chili flakes out.
Cooking eggs in pesto sauce is nothing new, but the viral TikTok recipe made this food the must-have breakfast of 2021.
The recipe itself couldn't be more straightforward - instead of frying eggs using some bland oil, place a generous tablespoon of freshly made pesto onto the skillet and crack an egg in the middle of it.
There is no way this recipe wouldn't work. Pesto is just a combination of fragrant herbs, nuts, cheese, and oil, so you are basically cooking eggs in an extra flavorful sauce.

Honestly, it's hard to call this dish cereal or even a recipe. Nature's cereal went viral when Lizzo made a batch of this healthy breakfast shared by Sherwayne Mears of @natures_food.
From then on, nature's cereal jumped to the top of trendy foods, with many more celebrities sharing their versions of the simple recipe.
It's nothing but a mix of fresh berries, coconut water, and some ice cubes in a bowl, and it tastes exactly how it looks. To be fair, it is delicious if you don't expect it to taste like cereal. It's a great way to enjoy your favorite berries by a spoonful and have a refreshing breakfast on a hot summer day.

If you enjoy berries and want to consume them in a new fun way, you should give it a go. If you expect this to taste like Captain Crunch, don't try it.
The "healthier" recipe for brownies has been circulating on every social media channel for a while now. And while adding raw zucchini to your brownies doesn't make it lower in calories, it is a great way to sneak in some vegetables into a dessert (of all things).
The main benefit of adding zucchini into a brownie mix is the fudgy texture it provides. You will end up with the fudgiest, moist, perfect brownies and will not taste the zucchini.

So it's no surprise that a simple "cheesy" modification blew up on Tiktok overnight, generating more than 13 million views.
