8 Desserts In 1 Pan Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: chocolate chip cookie dough, cookie dough, brownie mix, graham cracker, chocolate, mini marshmallows, pie crust, apple pie filling, pumpkin pie filling, banana bread batter, cheesecake batter, half sheet pan

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Desserts

Yield 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups chocolate chip cookie dough
2 cups cookie dough, m&m
2 cups brownie mix, prepared with half of the recommended water
8 sheets graham cracker
4 oz chocolate
1 cup mini marshmallows
3 sheets pie crust
2 cups apple pie filling
2 cups pumpkin pie filling
2 cups banana bread batter
2 cups cheesecake batter
half sheet pan, 18 x 13 inch (45 x 33 cm)

Steps:

  • Spray a baking tray with cooking spray, then line it with a piece of parchment that extends past the sides. These will be the handles to lift out the dessert.
  • Visually dividing the pan into 8 equal rectangles, shape the chocolate chip cookie dough into a flat, even, rectangular shape that fits the divided section in the top left corner, making sure the edges are as straight and sharp as possible.
  • Shape the m&m cookie dough into a similar rectangle in the section diagonally across from the chocolate chip cookie dough.
  • Break the graham cracker sheets along their seams into pieces that are just as long as the cookie dough rectangles. Press them to form a wall in the bottom left section.
  • Place 2 full graham cracker sheets in bottom of the section.
  • Layer the chocolate evenly on top.
  • Spread the marshmallows across the chocolate.
  • In the section directly to the right of the chocolate chip cookie dough, carefully spread the brownie batter into a similar rectangular shape.
  • Roll two of the pie crusts together with about a 3-inch (8 cm) overlap, then trim it into a rectangle.
  • Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • On the far right side of the pan, lay the rectangular sheet of pie crust over where the 2 rightmost sections would be. Press the pie crust into the edges of the pan, then trim off any excess that goes beyond the pan.
  • Place a double layer strip of pie crust in the middle, creasing the dough near the bottom into the pie crust that was laid down in order to help it stick and stay up.
  • Seal off the left exposed edge of the pie crust with another double strip of pie crust. You should now have 2 rectangles completely enclosed in pie crust.
  • If the brownie mix has spread a little bit, push it back into its original rectangular shape.
  • Add the apple pie filling to the bottom right square.
  • Add the pumpkin pie filling to the top right square.
  • Immediately spread the banana bread batter into the section between the brownie and the pie crust.
  • Breaking another graham cracker sheet into pieces, form another wall along the bottom of the banana bread rectangle and the right of the m&m cookie dough.
  • Lay down 2 more sheets of graham crackers inside that rectangle to form a base, then evenly spread the cheesecake batter on top.
  • Bake for 1 hour.
  • Cool completely, then slowly and carefully lift the entire dessert out using the parchment paper handles. Immediately transfer to a large cutting board.
  • Make 8 evenly-spaced slices vertically and 4 slices horizontally, creating bars that are have 1, 2, or 4 flavors.
  • Enjoy!

PALMIER COOKIES EASY DESSERT RECIPE BY TASTY



Palmier Cookies Easy Dessert Recipe by Tasty image

French palmier cookies look like they'd involve a million steps, but did you know you can make them with just three ingredients? It really is as easy and simple as rolling out some store-bought puff pastry, sprinkling sugar and butter, and rolling it into that classic heart shape. As the cookies bake, the sugar caramelizes and makes them golden, making it a fancy-looking but non-fussy dessert that'll impress all your friends!

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Desserts

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup cane sugar

Steps:

  • Unwrap the puff pastry. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten out the seams if your puff pastry has then, making an even rectangle. Brush melted butter evenly over the puff pastry. Sprinkle half of the sugar on the pastry, then spread it around evenly. Using a rolling pin, roll the pastry into a tall rectangle, pressing the sugar into the pastry. Flip the pastry, then repeat the process, brushing with butter and rolling in the rest of the sugar.
  • Tightly roll the bottom of the pastry toward the middle, stopping at the center, then roll the top of the pastry to meet in the centre as well. The rolls should be the same size. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove the plastic wrap and push one of the rolls directly on top of the other. Trim off the uneven ends of the pastry, then slice into ½-inch (1 cm) rounds. They should look like smushed hearts. Place the slices on the baking sheet about 2 inches (5 cm) apart to allow for expansion. Bake for 15 minutes, flipping them halfway, until the sugar is caramelized and the cookies are golden brown.
  • Enjoy!
