What are Viral Recipes?
Viral recipes are popular dishes that everyone’s talking about online, often taking over TikTok and Instagram. They can hit off and become trendy for various reasons, but one of them is that they are eye-catching and have a great visual appeal, making people want to try them.
Simple recipes that are easy to understand can also go viral quickly. Sometimes, using trendy ingredients (looking at you, cottage cheese) or doing something unique with a classic recipe (hello, sheet pan lasagna) can make it go viral fast. Lastly, viral recipes TikTok loves are often those with a healthy twist that people are into at the moment.
But generally, there’s no rhyme or reason to what takes off and what doesn’t. It’s all a matter of what people can relate to and see themselves replicate at home. That’s why I’m excited to share these top viral recipes that you can easily recreate in your kitchen.

If making a viral recipe makes you nervous, try a traditional dish with a unique twist, like regular pancakes with homey classic flavors and textures that we all know and love but are baked on a sheet pan for ease and simplicity.
- They usually come with a video: Seeing a recipe being made in action is especially helpful if you are a visual person. This makes cooking more enjoyable, especially if you’re not a seasoned chef and will help secure success on the first try!
