I Tested the MOST VIEWED TikTok DESSERT Recipes

Introduction

Today, we're testing TikTok's most viewed desserts, each one going more viral than the last. Let's see if they're a hit or just hype!

Starting with a red velvet cookie inspired by Crumbl, we begin by creaming butter with a whisk, adding white and brown sugars sprinkled with some sparkles. I prefer using a spatula for this step for better mixing. An egg is added next, followed by vanilla and red gel dye—this caused a bit of confusion as one comment mentioned that they always thought red velvet was just red chocolate. The creator might have also added molasses, but I opted for maple syrup since that was what I had on hand.

Skipping the vinegar—which is often found in red velvet recipes—we move on to the dry ingredients. As a note, she seemed not to have added baking soda or baking powder yet, so I made sure to include those. The cocoa powder was also added to the flour. Once mixed, the cookie dough is portioned out into a baking pan and baked.

After cooling, cream cheese frosting is piped onto the cookies in a Crumbl-style swirl and topped with cookie crumbles. Comparing my cookies to hers, I noted hers looked more professional, but the texture was delightful! The cookies are cakey on the inside, crunchy on the outside, and receive a 9 out of 10.

Tiramisu Cheesecake

Next up is a tiramisu-inspired cheesecake, which has garnered 20 million views. The recipe starts with two tubs of mascarpone cheese, some heavy whipping cream, and instant coffee instead of real coffee. The whipped cream is combined with powdered sugar to create a filling, and ladyfingers are dipped into instant coffee solution before being stacked in a cake pan.

Layering continues with the mascarpone cream until everything is smooth. After chilling for six hours, the result is an impressive cake that is cut for tasting. This no-bake cheesecake is loved by many, so I had high expectations. It turns out beautiful and creamy; I give it a perfect 10 out of 10!

Healthy Snickers Dates

With 23 million views, the next recipe is a healthier version of a Snickers bar made with dates. After pitting dates, they are stuffed with peanut butter before being filled with pecans. Then they are dipped in a melted chocolate-coconut oil mixture and sprinkled with sea salt for a finishing touch.

While the taste is chewy and satisfying, I felt that peanuts would have enhanced the flavor more—so I rated it an 8 out of 10.

Japanese Fluffy Cake

At 37 million views, the Japanese fluffy cake recipe has four ingredients. The creator starts with egg yolks mixed with yogurt and flour before whipping egg whites until soft peaks form. Combining these two mixtures carefully helps maintain the fluffiness.

After pouring the batter into a round pan placed in a water bath, it bakes at 300°F for an hour. Unfortunately, mine deflates quickly but still tastes wonderfully light and fluffy. I proudly give it an 8 out of 10!

Dubai Chocolate Bar

With 52 million views, this viral dessert is a Dubai chocolate creation. The process begins with butter and shredded phyllo dough, which is toasted and mixed with pistachio and tahini. Melting chocolate through a double boiler achieves a perfect ganache.

The mixture is poured into molds, and I followed the creative method of using ice cube trays. Once it sets, the chocolate bar is revealed—shiny, thick, and full of flavor! It receives a 10 out of 10 for its delightful crunchiness.

Caramelized Honey Apple Pastry

At 55 million views, this dessert features caramelized honey nectarines, but I had to substitute apples due to seasonal limitations. With honey dripped onto parchment, the apples are placed and drizzled with more honey. Puff pastry blankets the fruit and is brushed with egg whites.

After baking, the result resembles a sophisticated French pastry, which scores an 8 out of 10 for its deliciousness and aesthetic appeal.

ASMR Chocolate Cake

Lastly, we tackled a viral ASMR chocolate cake with 118 million views. This involves creating a glossy ganache from butter and chocolate mixed with whipped cream. Then, eggs and sugar are beaten together to form a rich batter.

After baking, my chocolate cake rises but steadily deflates. Despite the visual outcome, the taste is delightful, earning it an 8 out of 10.

Testing these viral TikTok recipes was a fun journey, yielding delicious results throughout!
