In the world of entertainment, movies have the power to captivate audiences and influence various spheres of our lives, and the highly anticipated “Barbenheimer” release this summer has taken the world by storm. Not only have these movies caused a global stir, but they have also sparked a flurry of trends in the realms of fashion and food. We may be missing out on some of
the viral Barbie collaborations available in stores abroad, but that doesn’t mean we can’t whip up some perfectly pink treats right in our own dreamhouses. Let’s delve into how the Barbie movie has become a catalyst for creativity, leading to the emergence of exciting, delectable, pink-themed recipes.

1. Pink Pasta

A delightful twist on classic pasta dishes by infusing them with pink hues. The trick is simply adding beetroot puree to any pasta recipe to create a visually stunning, Instagram-worthy dish. 

2. Raspberry Macarons

These delicate French confections, filled with a tangy raspberry ganache, perfectly capture the essence of the Barbie movie. Their dainty appearance and irresistible taste make them a must-have treat at fashionable gatherings.

3. Barbie Sushi

We didn’t expect this one, but sushi lovers, brace yourselves. You can now add some pink food colouring or beetroot juice while cooking your sticky sushi rice to celebrate the pink trend whilst it lasts.

4. Pink Lemonade 

Quench your thirst with a vibrant glass of pink lemonade. Add a few drops of red food colouring or pureed raspberries to freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar, and water for a refreshing beverage that screams summer. You can see many bright pink refreshers on TikTok everywhere now, but the trick is the same, add any red or pink coloured fruit — or ordinary colouring to give your drink a Barbie makeover. 

5. Rosy Crepes

Fluffy pink crepes are pretty exciting, right? Tint the batter with pink food colouring. Top off with decadent pink-tinted frosting and edible rose petals for an elegant, Barbie-inspired dessert. 

6. Barbie Popcorn

The whimsical pink colour of Barbie and popcorn creates a sweet and salty treat. Combining sugar, water, butter, food colouring and your flavouring of choice into a saucepan will create the perfect base for your pink popcorn look.
