(upbeat music)
- All right, so first up,
we're gonna be making an Oreo mug cake.
And it's literally just Oreos and almond milk?
All right, so we're just gonna take
one, two, three, four Oreos.
We're just gonna do like a little splash of that.
Then we're just gonna take that
and mash it up, I guess?
Then we're just gonna take this
and put it in the microwave for one minute
and then hopefully, we have cake?
Okay, I'm not gonna lie, it smells really good.
The moment of truth.
Looks interesting.
Okay, so I don't know about this consistency?
It's definitely gooey.
Wait, hold on.
This is the consistency we're working with and honestly,
it kinda looks good.
Only way we're gonna know is if we try it,
so here we go.
Wait.
Why is that so good?
That is like such a good, fudgey cake.
It literally took probably two minutes to make it.
I'm gonna give this an eight.
Honestly, it's definitely worth making
and it's super easy so if you have Oreos, go for it.
Next up, we have this Sour Patch Kid hack?
Apparently, if you take green grapes,
slice them in half, and then put lime juice on them,
they're supposed to taste like Sour Patch Kids.
Don't get me wrong, I love grapes,
but if I want candy,
are grapes really gonna satisfy that craving?
I don't know.
I have literally seen this one like 80 times,
so if this doesn't work,
I'm gonna feel very lied to.
All right, so I have my grapes all cut up
and now, we're just going to
squeeze the lime juice on, I guess.
That's it.
Okay, is it good?
Yes, I get it.
When you have the salty and sweet.
The texture of the grape I can see resembles a gummy
a little bit.
And it is good, but it tastes nothing like a Sour Patch Kid.
Three out of 10.
All right, so this next one
is a hack for if you ever run out of almond milk.
Apparently, if you take a tablespoon of almond butter
and a cup of water and then just blend it together,
it'll just make almond milk?
We're going to take one tablespoon
of our almond butter.
Pour in the water.
Make sure it's on tight.
We're starting slow this time,
working our way up.
Okay, so they didn't strain it or anything,
they just poured it into a glass.
It's a little frothy
and there are definitely chunks at the bottom.
Honestly, it actually does taste like almond milk,
but it's kind of weird.
The little floaties at the bottom, don't love those.
I'm gonna give this a five out of 10
because technically, yes it works,
but I think there are some flaws.
This is another one that I've seen
a million times on my for you page,
and it's just taking frozen blueberries
and any type of milk
and then just letting them sit for a while
and then stirring it
and apparently, it makes this blueberry ice cream?
And if this works, it would be amazing
because honestly, having a healthy alternative
to ice cream is always great.
TikTok hacks have a habit of never putting
actual amounts that you need.
So, I don't really know if this was the correct amount,
but I'm just gonna go with it.
I'm gonna let it sit for a second.
Let the milk get kind of cold
and then let's start stirring it
and trying to crush them up.
I'm not really crushing up like hers.
How did she...
These things are frozen solid,
how does she crush hers up so much?
It's definitely doing something,
but is it doing as much as the TikTok,
I would not say so.
Compared to the TikTok,
it looks a lot more frozen blueberry, a lot less ice cream.
Tastes better than it looks.
The frozen blueberries
do kind of just have an ice creamy consistency on their own.
Kind of more sorbet-esque.
I think I'm gonna rate this one a six.
It's good, I honestly will probably make it again
just because it's so easy,
but you cannot call it ice cream.
It's just not ice cream.
Okay, I cannot begin to explain how excited I am
for this next one.
We're gonna be trying three ingredient vegan Samoas.
I love Samoas so much.
So if this actually works,
if I can actually use three ingredients
to make things that taste even a little bit like Samoas,
I will be so happy.
This particular recipe is two bananas,
two cups of shredded coconut, and then chocolate.
I'm just gonna take these bananas.
All right, I have the consistency,
now we're just gonna add this two cups of coconut.
And just stir it in.
I am very curious to see how this bakes though
because it's literally just banana and coconut
and that seems like how's that gonna do anything?
The consistency looks pretty good, I think.
So now, we're gonna make a bunch of little circles, I guess?
And flatten them out.
So, they look like this right now
and then she just said literally just use your finger
and poke...
Okay, well that didn't work.
And then I'm just gonna pop these in the oven.
It said 15 to 20 minutes.
So, I'm gonna do 15, check back,
and I will see where they're at.
All right, so the 15-minute timer just went off
and they don't look quite as golden brown as hers did,
so I'm gonna leave them in for three more minutes
and then take them out.
All right, I just took the Samoas out of the oven,
this is their looking like.
She said to just take a knife
and drizzle it over?
I'm trying to do that, she just made little stripes.
Oh my God!
I'm gonna take these off,
put them in the fridge to cool,
so that all the chocolate can harden
and then we'll try it out.
Okay, I literally feel like a kid in a candy store.
The Samoas are finally done cooling.
So, we can try them.
It's not a Samoa, but it's really, really good.
I'm gonna eat this entire plate.
I'm gonna give this one an eight out of 10.
I think if you dip the bottoms in chocolate as well
like how the actual Samoa is,
it'll probably be a little bit better.
But they're super good,
definitely worth making
cause they're so fricking easy.
Okay, so this next one is another ice cream hack,
but this one's using bananas instead of blueberries
and an axle blender,
not just me trying to crush up
little blueberries with my hands.
So, all we're using is these four bananas
and then half a cup of almond milk.
Look at that swirl, oh my God!
The texture is literally so ice creamy.
Look at that.
Literally, the texture looks exactly like ice cream.
I feel like any time I have an ice cream craving,
this would totally hit that.
I have to give this a 10 out of 10.
All right, so this is another candy hack.
These are allegedly date snickers?
So apparently, if you put medjool dates,
peanut butter and dark chocolate together,
it's like a little bit of a Snickers hack.
So, after Sour Patch grapes,
I'm feeling a little bit skeptical.
Cut them so there's like a little opening.
We're gonna put our dates.
And then all you have to do
is fill them up with peanut butter
and then cover them with chocolate.
So, we're gonna pop this into the freezer
until the chocolate hardens.
Oh my God, I'm so excited about these,
they look so good.
Totally covered in chocolate, I'm so excited.
This is amazing.
It doesn't taste like a Snickers,
but it does taste like a candy bar.
Nine out of 10.
Okay, so the last actual recipe I'm making
is gonna be another three ingredient cookie.
But this is more like your typical cookie.
It is advertised on the TikTok as three ingredients,
but I'm gonna add chocolate chips
because who wants a plain old cookie?
So, first.
Peel these babies, put them into a bowl, mash them up.
You know the drill at this point.
We're gonna add two cups of blended up oats.
I already blended mine, but yeah.
So, you can literally just buy oat flour,
but if you don't have any oat flour,
take two cups, put them into a high-speed blender,
blend them up, and you'll get oat flour.
And now, we're just gonna use
two tablespoons of coconut sugar.
We're just gonna mix that up.
Low-key, I've been mixing for a while
and it kind of won't get past this consistency.
I'm gonna keep going,
but I might have to almond milk or something, I don't know.
I'm gonna add a splash, splash, of almond milk.
So, after the almond milk addition,
it looks pretty similar to have the consistency as hers,
so I think we're good.
She said it's optional to add in
whatever toppings you want.
I'm gonna do chocolate chunks.
And we're just gonna stir that in.
One thing that I thought was kind of interesting
is that she mentioned to flatten the cookies out.
That did not work.
You know what?
We're not gonna be negative.
Okay.
It's a lot better with my hands.
Since my hands are disgusting, I'm gonna wash them
and then put these in the oven.
She said 10 to 13 minutes,
so I'm gonna go with 10, check at 10, see what's up.
All right, 10 minutes in, this is where we're at.
They don't really look cooked, honestly,
and I also don't know what those white things are.
Okay, so I'm just realizing
I really did not flatten my cookies that much.
I guess I didn't watch clearly enough,
I didn't realized she flattened them so flat.
Also, she said cook 10 to 13 minutes
or until done.
How do I know when is done?
I don't know about these.
So, I ended up putting them in for like 17 minutes.
They don't feel like cookie consistency,
I could tell you that.
So, I hate it.
It's fine.
The texture, though, is really weird.
I don't know.
It just doesn't feel or really taste like a cookie.
I can't imagine if I didn't add the chocolate chips.
If I just left this with the three ingredients,
I would not recommend.
Yeah, wow, I'm super disappointed.
I'm gonna give these two out of 10?
Ooh, I feel bad.
But they're bad, they're straight up bad.
Will I probably still eat them?
Maybe.
This next hack is an ice cream cookie sandwich hack.
I'm gonna make the ice cream sandwiches
with the cookies that I just made.
Got our two cookies waiting on deck.
I am feeling nervous about this.
So, I'm gonna just take this huge knife
and saw into my ice cream as you'd do.
That was way easier than I expected it to be.
Feels really wrong.
Now, we'll just flip this over, put this on top and just...
Oh my God, that's so fun.
Is it just...
That's so fun.
I mean, I love it.
The hack definitely worked.
That is literally a perfect sandwich.
I was right.
The only thing that could fix these cookies
was vanilla ice cream.
I'm giving it an eight because I don't know
what I meant to do with this.
That's not gonna work.
I guess maybe...
Do I just?
It's kind of what I'm gonna do right now,
I think I'm gonna do it like this and put it in a bag
and put it back in the freezer and hope for the best?
I feel like if you're doing this with multiple people
and you were gonna use the entire pint,
this would actually be perfect.
I've completed all the TikTok hacks
that I've been trying today.
So honestly, if you're ever bored,
go through those likes, find your recipes,
find your hacks, try them out
cause honestly, a lot of them are worth it.
And now if you'll excuse me,
I'm gonna go finish those Samoas.
