An Extraordinary Pink Sauce
What’s so Special about TikTok’s Viral Pink Sauce?
There’s something magnetic about TikTok viral recipes! After the success of the mouthwatering Taco Queso dip, healthy Green Goddess salad, and the crispy Air Fryer Pasta Chips, I knew I had to try this special pink sauce!
TikTok’s viral pink sauce has an intense pinky-purple color, it’s sweet and savory! The sauce instantly became a viral sensation among TikTok users after it was shared by creator, Chef Pii, a 29-year-old Miami-based chef.
The ingredients list of this brightly colored mystery sauce is simple. Also, the cooking process is all about pressing a button on your mixer! The nutritional label has changed a bit on the pink sauce website, but the flavor profile got so much better.
Pink sauce fever took over people so fast! Bottles of pink sauce immediately filled major food retailers’ shelves. Those who couldn’t afford to buy it wanted to make exactly the same pink sauce at home.
Who’s behind TikTok’s Pink Sauce?
Chef Pii, who’s working as a private chef, first posted a TikTok video dipping a fried chicken tender in pink sauce on June 11, and since then TikTok users went just wild. The bright pink color on the video seemed to enchant everyone!
Chef Pii says she suffered from anxiety so dragon fruit was part of her solution. This magnesium-rich fruit of dense purple color helped with Pii’s anxiety and nervousness, in addition to its sweet and savor flavor and positive color.
Celebrity chef, pink sauce’s author Carly Pii, told Washington Post and NBC news release that she refuses to tell her real name for the sake of privacy.
When a Twitter user asked a lot of questions about the safety of the product and the exact ingredients of the mysterious pink sauce, Chef Pii refused to answer and just claimed it was not a medical product for lab testing.
After being massively accused of poor food safety concerns and even food poisoning, FDA standards have been applied to Chef Pii’s quality control and pink sauce’s commerce control.
Hence, the viral pink sauce bottles will now be sold commercially by Dave’s Gourmet Sauces, approved by the drug administration of U.S. food standards.
