Some weekends, I find myself scrolling through TikTok while drinking iced coffee, and suddenly — BOOM! — puro dessert hacks ang lumalabas sa feed ko. 😂 And as a mom with a sweet tooth (plus two little food critics here at home), these trending dessert ideas feel like tiny treasures waiting to be recreated.
The best part? Most of these viral desserts use 4 ingredients or less.
Perfect for busy days, kuripot days, or “Mommy, I want something sweet!” moments.
I grew up loving simple Filipino desserts — mangoes with milk, ice candy, palitaw — the kind of sweets na lutong-bahay pero magical. TikTok somehow revived that nostalgia, making old favorites cool again while introducing new twists.
Here are 5 viral Filipino TikTok desserts that even non-bakers can pull off:
1. 4-Ingredient Mango Float Ice Cream
This went crazy online — and for good reason.
Imagine mango float… but turned into the creamiest homemade ice cream.
One time, I made a batch “just to try,” and ayun, ubos agad before dinner. Mango + cream is a combination that just never fails.
Ingredients:
• All-purpose cream
• Condensed milk
• Mangoes
• Graham Crackers
Just whip → fold → freeze.
It tastes like a ₱400 pint you’d buy in a café.
2. Ube Pastillas Fudge (No Cook!)
Anything UBE is guaranteed to go viral.
This TikTok trend is basically childhood in every square.
I love this because it’s a no-cook dessert — perfect for days when the kitchen feels too warm or too messy. Twinkle helped me press the mixture into the pan last time, and she kept sneaking little bites. 😅
Ingredients:
• Ube halaya
• Condensed milk
• Powdered milk
• Sugar (optional)
Mix everything until thick, chill for 2 hours, slice, and enjoy!
3. Milo Jelly Cups
This dessert feels like the merienda I grew up with — creamy, chocolatey, and perfect after school.
The girls love this so much, and honestly, I make extra just so may leftovers for me. 😂
Ingredients:
• Milo
• Cream
• Evaporated milk
• Gelatin
It sets into the softest, bouncy jelly.
Top with extra Milo for the full TikTok effect.
4. 3-Ingredient Avocado Ice Candy
Ahhh, the taste of Filipino summers.
This one became viral because it’s cheap, nostalgic, and just SO GOOD.
When I made this for the kids, nag-unahan sila to tie the ice candy plastics. Nakakatuwa. Something about ice candy just brings out the childhood in all of us.
Ingredients:
• Avocado
• Condensed milk
• Milk or water
Mash → mix → pour → freeze
You’ll never buy ice candy again.
5. 4-Ingredient No-Oven Leche Flan Cups
Leche flan is timeless — and TikTok made it cool again with this fast, mini version.
One of the easiest flans you can make.
Perfect for potlucks, weekend cravings, or pang-surprise dessert sa family.
Ingredients:
• Eggs
• Condensed milk
• Evaporated milk
• Sugar
Steam for 20 minutes and you’re done.
