Assembling the Dessert

Download Article

1. 
   1
   Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F).
2. 
   2
   Line baking paper and annotate. Cut baking paper into a rectangle the size of your baking pan. Use a pencil and ruler to divide the paper into 8 equal sections—halved length-wise and quartered width-wise, as in the layout diagram. Annotate the sections as shown in the diagram above.
3. 
   3
   Grease and line baking sheet. Use butter or oil spray to grease the baking pan, and line with the annotated paper.
4. 
   4
   Mold and align cookie doughs. Shape both cookie doughs into rectangles measuring 4½×6½ inches (11.5×16.5 cm). Align the doughs with their respective sections.
5. 
   5
   Make walls with graham crackers. Break the graham crackers into smaller rectangles. Place them, on edge, along the borders of the s'mores section, pressing them against the cookie doughs for support. You are essentially making walls to hold in the s'mores section.
6. 
   6
   Make s'mores section. Place two graham crackers on the bottom of the s'mores section to create the base. Distribute the chocolate on top, then sprinkle with the marshmallows.
7. 
   7
   Add brownie batter section. Spread brownie batter over its respective section. It should be stiff enough to hold its shape. Using your wet hands or a spatula, gently press the right wall of batter to correctly align it with the right wall of the M&Ms cookie dough.
8. 
   8
   Make base for pie fillings. If necessary, press the pastry dough sheets together so that they are big enough to cover both the pumpkin pie and apple pie sections of the pan. Press the dough over the right side of pan so that it covers these two sections and goes up three of the walls. Trim away any overhang as necessary.
9. 
   9
   Make walls of pastry dough. Use a long strip of dough, stood on edge, to create a wall between the pie section and the rest of the pan. Press to seal it with the existing dough. In a similar fashion, use another strip of pastry to create a wall between the pumpkin and apple sections so the fillings don't combine. Press to seal.
10. 
    10
    Add pie fillings to relevant sections. Spread the apple pie and pumpkin pie fillings in their respective sections.
11. 
    11
    Make cheesecake section. Create graham cracker walls around the cheesecake section, and line the bottom with graham crackers. Spread the cheesecake filling over top.
12. 
    12
    Add the banana bread batter to final section. Spread the banana bread batter in the last remaining section.
13. 
    13
    Bake for an hour in the preheated oven. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
14. 
    14
    Slice into squares. Use a knife to slice into 32 squares (4 along the longer sides, 8 along the smaller sides).
