Viral Tiktok Chamoy Pickle Recipe
This vibrant chamoy pickle recipe has taken Tiktok by storm for its bold, tangy-sweet-spicy flavor combo and eye-catching color. Featuring dill pickles soaked in chamoy, Tajín, and candy powders, it’s a wildly popular snack that's both fun to make and even more fun to eat.
Equipment
- Wide-mouth Mason jar with a lid
- Fork (to puncture pickles)
Ingredients
- 6 to 8 whole dill pickles
- 1 cup reserved dill pickle juice
- 1/2 cup chamoy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Tajín seasoning
- 2 to 3 teaspoons sweet candy chamoy powder
- 2 to 3 teaspoons sweet and sour mango powder
- 1 to 2 teaspoons Tapatío hot sauce optional
Instructions
- Prepare Pickles: Take the pickles out of their jar and use a fork to poke holes all around each one to help the flavors soak in. Set them inside a clean Mason jar and pour the reserved pickle juice over them.
- Mix in Flavorings: Add chamoy sauce directly into the jar, then sprinkle in Tajín, candy chamoy powder, mango powder, and hot sauce if using. Ensure the liquid fully covers all the pickles—add more chamoy or pickle juice if needed.
- Seal and Shake: Close the jar tightly and give it a good shake until everything looks well blended and the pickles are evenly coated.
- Refrigerate and Wait: Let the jar sit in the fridge for a full 7 days so the pickles can soak up all that delicious flavor.
- Serve: Take out the pickles and enjoy them as-is or load them up with toppings like sour candy, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, or Lucas powder for a next-level snack.
Notes
Storage: Keep pickles in the refrigerator, submerged in their flavorful brine, for up to two weeks after marinating.
Flavor Tips: Fully submerging the pickles ensures even marination—don’t skip this step!
Advance Prep: You can make these up to two weeks ahead for deeper flavor.
Spice Control: Adjust the amount of hot sauce to fit your spice preference or leave it out entirely.
