- That is bloomin' stonkin'!
Wow!
(happy music)
Eight deserts in one pan.
Yes, hello, buddy, welcome to another MVK Tries,
a series in which I tries.
Today (laughs) I'm attempting this recipe you're seeing
on the screen right now
from the well known Tasty Eight Desserts in One Pan.
Yes, that is a thing, an octo-dessert.
A sort of James Bond, Octopussy of desserts.
This thing kinda scares me and excites me
but I really wanna try it.
We need one pan.
This pan is the kind of one I was thinking of going for.
It's a pan, it's similar to the one they've used there
but it's not very high ridged.
So my fear is that it could spill over the sides.
It could spill over the sides.
(pans clang)
Alright, it's a roasting pan but it's the same size, width,
and length and all that stuff, hmm.
There's actually gonna be
eight individual compartments of dessert within this
and it looks insane if we can pull it off.
We need to get some ingredients.
The normal supermarket I go to
had quite the interesting international section.
They didn't have any tins of pumpkin.
They normally sell it but it was out.
It's hard to get a pumpkin this time of year at the moment.
There it is.
I also need to get some bog roll while I'm in here as well.
It's an expensive supermarket but.
There it is guys, toilet roll and pumpkin.
That winning combination.
We've got it, we're good to go.
The main thing that's gonna hold this dessert together
it all sort of supports the sides.
It's the base, it's kind of like everything.
It's the flux capacitor of this dessert.
It's something called graham crackers
which are very common for s'mores.
If you can't get those,
use Digestive biscuits.
The only problem is they're round
so you're octo-dessert thing
could actually look like an actual octopus with suckers.
But...
Oh, I've actually got some authentic graham crackers.
I wouldn't call them grahams, huh?
Now there's quite an interesting list of ingredients here.
In fact, the cookie dough is quite easy to get a hold of.
The brownie mix, this is so old school.
I've actually, I've not done one of these in years.
That's a whole playlist in itself, isn't it?
Oh, yes.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Then it gets to the pumpkin pie filling
which is where our pumpkin quest came in.
So we've managed to survive the quest.
We'll be fine there.
Banana bread batter,
you don't just generally get banana bread mix.
As far as I could see, they probably exist.
So I'm gonna have to do my own banana bread.
And the same for cheesecake batter.
I have never seen that in the supermarket,
a cheesecake batter so, meh.
(pan bangs) Boom.
(quick music)
(wax paper crinkles)
That took a lot longer than I'd hoped.
Layer number one, cookie dough, refrigerated.
Easy peasy from the store.
(plastic crinkles) Alright.
I'm gonna...
I think this is a good one to start with
because it's quite butch
and it's gonna hold things in place.
Alright, so that's 36 really.
So that's 18, it's halfway.
(knife bangs) Ah yeah!
Section number two is the same thing
but an M&M cookie dough.
They don't sell that in the supermarket
so I've got some M&M's.
This was a full bag last night.
Shh.
Layer three is our pack
of ready-made chocolate fudge brownie mix
with half of the water added.
(upbeat music)
Needs to be really thick.
That's pretty thick.
This is where the graham crackers come in
and they sort of act as a thing
that's gonna hold it together
and lots of other fits that you'll see in a minute.
But they are actually quite high if I do it like that.
So I'm gonna take a risk here and just snap them, oh,
down the line and just make it as a bit of a border like so.
This is so fiddly.
This is the s'more now anyhow.
The next bit is chocolate.
Ah, go on, yes.
I don't know about you, but I would be quite happy
with a quartro-dessert rather than an octo.
It gets a little tricky from now on.
This is a sheet of ready-made shortcrust pastry
like pie casing.
We're getting another sheet apparently
and we lay that on top.
I'm gonna give it a bit of a roll
to merge it as one thick old sheet.
Just getting it in at first
and then we can sort of trim off the excess and line it up.
(happy music)
Ah, that's pretty neat.
Hey, that's pretty darn good, you gotta admit, huh?
It's like play dough.
(grunts) Apple pie filling, ready-made.
(laughs) Look at that.
Alright, it's time for the pumpkin pie filling.
(happy music)
(laughs) Amazing.
What's going on, boy? (laughs)
I'm sensing that this bit right there is the banana bread.
Graham cracker in there
and we've created our sort of final pocket.
I've remembered that I've got some banana chips
and I'm gonna stick those on as well.
I might regret this, they could burn.
But I think it looks pretty cool.
That banana bread batter is trying to break through.
But when we put the cheesecake in there,
it should sort of push everything away.
And then we'll be done.
(happy music)
I forgot the sugar, sorry.
(laughs) It's not every day you make eight desserts.
(happy music)
Boom!
The brownie looks like it's almost cooked. (laughs)
It's quite fine.
To be honest, I can't believe
we've made it to this step as it is.
Whatever it turns out right now,
I think that is a really cool thing.
(laughs) Amazing.
So we now need to get the oven hot.
(oven beeps) Preheat the oven to 130 C fan,
150 C normally.
That's actually quite a low temperature
and it goes in the oven for an hour.
For some of those things, it's gonna need an hour.
And some others, it's a little bit worrying.
So what I might do is put tinfoil on top
whilst it goes in there.
That gives me an hour to tidy up
because I've made a hell of a mess.
So it's been 45 minutes.
The smell is insane.
Now sadly, there has been some movement.
The cookie dough has just taken over quite a lot of it.
But you'll see that in a minute.
And it's still not fully done.
The pumpkin pie needs to set a little bit.
But I think, I think it's gonna be alright.
(laughs) So the pie is done.
That took the last, actually, to firm up.
And this pastry, although it's not browned,
it is actually cooked and solid all good.
The apple pie.
The cheesecake, ah, has got a little squished
because of this thing. (laughs)
It was like, this is my space.
That's okay.
Banana bread has mingled with the brownie
which has mingled with the cookie dough.
Why couldn't you have done that?
Because this thing has just squished the s'more.
But it's all good.
I mean I hope you agree,
it's definitely not something you see every day.
So I'm gonna let it cool down.
The aim, ideally, if we can, is to lift it all out in one.
I don't know if that's gonna happen.
It's been an hour.
Oh! (laughs)
(triumphant music)
Yes!
Look, I love how it's all sort of bonded together
on the sides.
It is actually a thing of real beauty, isn't it?
I could cut the whole thing up
but the things that interest me are the sort of sections
where they merge so I'm gonna try and get those out.
Ah, (laughs) yes!
I've taken some pieces out.
This would be amazing for a birthday party.
I'm just gonna have one, okay?
And that is this section,
the cheesecake, apple pie, pumpkin pie, and the banana bread
with the actual banana piece still in tact.
Pretty cool, huh?
That is bloomin' stonkin'!
Wow!
So there we go, eight desserts in one pan.
It literally did work.
It has blown my mind.
Apart from that M&M cookie dough going (grunts)
I want this pan, that worked out almost perfectly.
Remember this recipe originates from Tasty.
I just put my own spin on it
with my own versions of the batters and things like that.
I actually think you should give it a go.
