TikTok's Latest Craze: How to Make the Viral Fluffy Coke
When it comes to Coca-Cola, the term "crispy" has taken TikTok by storm, referring to a Coke that's cold, carbonated, and perfectly crackling. This sensation has inspired countless fans to declare their love for the beverage on social media. So, it might come as a surprise that the latest Coca-Cola craze is something entirely different: Fluffy Coke.
While a crispy Coke is all about that refreshing, fizzy perfection, Fluffy Coke ventures into a whole new territory of beverage enjoyment. Much like the "dirty sodas" that Olivia Rodrigo brought into the spotlight in 2021, this viral drink combines a carbonated cola with a creamy, sweet element. But unlike Utah's mocktail creations that mix soda with juices, creams, flavored syrups, and even fruit purées, the Fluffy Coke trend, popularized in July 2024 by TikTok user @not.eg and her grandmother Memama, requires only two simple ingredients: Coke and Marshmallow Fluff.
Technically, there’s a third ingredient if you count ice, but its optional status doesn’t detract from the simplicity of making a Fluffy Coke. Here's how you can whip up this delightful drink yourself:
1. Prepare Your Cup: Start by coating the inside of your cup with a generous layer of Marshmallow Fluff. Make sure the entire surface is covered to ensure maximum fluffiness.
2. Add the Coke: Once the cup is prepped, fill it with your crispiest, coldest Coca-Cola. You can add ice if you prefer an extra chill.
3. Enjoy: Sip away and enjoy the creamy, fizzy delight of your Fluffy Coke.
The Magic of Marshmallow Fluff
So, what exactly does Marshmallow Fluff do to your crisp Coca-Cola? According to @not.eg and Memama, the sticky spread creates a foamy, slightly creamy texture that’s reminiscent of an ice cream float. In terms of flavor, some TikTok creators noted that a Fluffy Coke initially tastes similar to a regular soda, but this may vary depending on the type of marshmallow product used.
There’s a key distinction between Marshmallow Fluff and marshmallow creme. Though they might seem identical, marshmallow creme typically contains cream of tartar and xanthan gum—ingredients not found in Marshmallow Fluff. These components can make it harder for the creme to dissolve quickly into the soda. However, some people have successfully made Fluffy Coke with marshmallow creme by letting the drink sit for a few minutes, allowing the soda to absorb the marshmallow flavor. Notably, @not.eg suggests scraping some of the Fluff off the side of the cup with a straw and swirling the drink a few times before taking a sip for the best experience.
Beyond Coca-Cola
The Fluffy Coke trend isn’t just limited to Coca-Cola. You can experiment with other types of soda, such as Dr. Pepper or orange soda, for a unique twist. Each combination offers a new flavor adventure, making this trend versatile and fun.
Whether you’re a die-hard Coca-Cola fan or just curious to try something new, this two-ingredient wonder is sure to delight your taste buds. So grab some Marshmallow Fluff and your favorite fizzy drink, and join the Fluffy Coke craze today!
