Try the Grey Stuff – it’s delicious! This famous treat from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is full of smooth, creamy pudding, and crunchy Oreo bits.
Few cinematic scenes depict the kind of interactive smorgasbord available to Belle during her first night in the mysteriously magical castle of the Beast. And while we can’t promise dancing cutlery and crooning candlesticks, you can enjoy your own version of the most famous treat from the song – the Grey Stuff, it’s delicious! Don’t believe me? Ask the dishes! You’ll be surprised at how easy it is to make this seemingly fancy delicacy.
So, What Exactly is the Grey Stuff?
I always wanted to know what the Grey Stuff was, since I watched Beauty and the Beast as a kid! They serve it at a few places in the Disney parks (usually Fantasyland), but I haven’t had the chance to try it. Luckily Disney released a recipe for it earlier last year. We tested it out in our kitchen, and it really was delicious! Essentially, it is a cookies and cream pudding mixture on top of a sugar cookie base. You start out with crushed Oreos, then add vanilla pudding, chocolate pudding, and whipped topping. All of that gets piped onto a cookie and is topped with crushed Oreos and sprinkles.
Ingredients in Grey Stuff
- Whole milk – cold
- Vanilla instant pudding mix
- Oreo cookies – crushed into crumbs
- Whipped topping – thawed (whipped cream or cool whip will work)
- Sugar cookies – I used Keebler Sandies
- Sprinkles – optional
