TikTok is no longer just for dance challenges and funny videos, it has become a hotspot for finding amazing recipes that anyone can try at home.
While there have been some questionable recipes in the past, like the early days of pink sauce and the all-time popular feta pasta, you shouldn’t have to look too hard to find recipes for tasty, easy homemade meals.
Another trend we see all the time is re-creations, where creators try to perfectly replicate popular restaurant dishes at home, and often it works really well.
Below are five of the most accurate recipe recreations we found on TikTok.

Former Domino’s employee and TikTok creator Maze (@mazerlazer_) shared a recipe for making the perfect Domino’s Cheese Pizza at home.
“I’ll show you how to make a homemade cheese pizza that rivals any big chain pizza for a fraction of the cost!” Mays wrote in the video’s caption.
She starts with her own pizza dough recipe, preheats the oven to 450 degrees, and rolls out the dough with a rolling pin. To prevent uneven baking, Mays uses room temperature Great Value Traditional Pasta Sauce.
For the cheese, shred the mozzarella and provolone cheeses and layer them, scattering them from on high to distribute them evenly.
Bake for 15 minutes, then spread the crust with a mixture of garlic powder, Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, and melted butter.
“This is so delicious,” Mays concluded after tasting his creation.

A Florida woman (@therealbfamily) was so impatient that she “accidentally” learned how to make Popeyes frozen lemonade at home.
In a recent video, she said she was fed up with the long wait after ordering a frozen lemonade and then the waiter handed her a box of frozen Minute Maid concentrate.
“Hey, I went to Popeyes thinking I could get frozen lemonade, but there was an hour wait,” she says in the video. “And they were joking and saying I’m gonna make it at home, and you know what I ended up with? This is the mix they use.”
While some users found the exchange amusing, others were disappointed to find out that the lemonade wasn’t freshly made.

TikToker Jordan (@jordan_the_stallion8) recently posted a video sharing a recipe for homemade pop tarts inspired by @cookingforthekids.
Jordan says, “As soon as I heard I could make homemade Pop-Tarts that tasted better than store-bought, I rushed back…Fate waits for no one.”
In the kitchen, I make the filling by mixing half a cup of brown sugar, a tablespoon of flour, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. I make giant pop-tarts using thawed puff pastry, poke holes in them, and butter them.
For the icing, mix powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and milk. “It’s delicious,” Jordan says. “It’s even better than the original.”
Viewers supported the recipe amid calls for a boycott of Kellogg’s after the CEO made comments about the cereal’s low price, with one user commenting: “I know what I’ll be making during the Kellogg’s strike.”

A TikTok user shared a First Watch iced coffee recipe, allowing viewers to make their own iced coffee at home and save money.
Chloe (@chloe_xandria) posted a video reminiscing about a recent visit to First Watch with her partner Adam, who ordered seven iced coffees, thinking they were unlimited. When the bill came, he was shocked to see he’d been charged $30 for the coffee.
Chloe says that once she paid, the friendly barista shared the recipe with her, then showed viewers how to recreate it: Fill a glass with ice, mix with 75% whole milk, and add one ounce (two tablespoons) of Monin Premium Iced Coffee Concentrate.
After mixing it, Chloe took a sip and confirmed, “It tastes exactly like First Watch iced coffee.”
“Now I don’t have to pay $30,” Chloe concluded.
