You may have a tiny bit of each recipe leftover - in which case just bake into a small ramekin or a cupcake liner for a chefs tasting portion! Or Check out my "Kitchen Sink" Pie where I threw it all into a pie crust, baked with fingers crossed and well, honestly it was pretty OK!! LOL

Instructions

1. First prepare the cookie dough recipe
2. Cream the vegan butter with the sugar until light and fluffy, about 3- 5 minutes.
3. Add the lemon zest, the aquafaba and the extract to the creaming butter/sugar mixture and then stop the mixer and scrape the sides of the bowl
4. Next sift together the flour baking powder and salt and add it all at once to the creamed mixture. Mix just until it is all combined.
5. Wrap this dough disc in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight before using
6. You must re work this dough with some additional flour to a pliable consistency after it has been chilled. Do not skip this step.
7. Knead it with some flour until it is no longer a crumbly mass, but a soft pliable dough

14. CLICK HERE FOR CHOCOLATE GANACHE
15. CLICK HERE FOR APPLE PIE FILLING
16. CLICK HERE CARAMEL PECAN PIE FILLING
17. After you prepare each recipe as per the instructions on each written recipe/video tutorial you will grease & parchment line a 12" x 9" sheet pan with the parchment paper overlapping the sides so you have something to ease the removal of this entire dessert later *see video
18. Roll half of the cookie dough to fit into the bottom of the pan then roll the remaining dough into the same size but this one will get cut into 1" strips- this will become the liner for the sides of the pan including the barrier from each dessert in the tray
19. *See video for step by step
20. Pour each recipe into one of the spaces you have constructed from the cookie dough, leaving 2 spaces unoccupied for the No Bake recipes.
21. Line those spaces with parchment paper & pie weights or beans or rice
22. Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 30 minutes or until the pumpkin pie is set, the caramel pecan filling is bubbly all over the surface and the cookie dough is golden brown *the cookie dough may start to brown too much on the top, so place a piece of foil over that section to prevent over-browning.
23. The entire pan will only bake for 30 minutes and then take it out of the oven too cool.
24. Once everything is completely cooled, you can prepare the no bake pumpkin cheesecake recipe, line 1 extra space with graham crackers *optional* then pour the filling into the space.
25. Re-warm *if necessary the ganache and pour into the remaining space.
26. Refrigerate everything until set & cold then remove the entire dessert from the pan by grabbing firmly on the over lapping parchment paper them transfer in one motion to a cutting board.
27. Cut into 1½ " squares for serving *or desired portion size.

Notes

Keep refrigerated until serving.

All desserts may be displayed at room temperature for up to 2 hours, but be sure to refrigerate at all other times for best shelf life.
