Be Our Guest—At Home! A Magical “Grey Stuff” Recipe the Whole Family Will Love ~

Read Time:2 Minute, 33 Second

“Try the grey stuff—it’s delicious!” If you’ve ever dined inside the enchanted halls of Be Our Guest Restaurant at Walt Disney World, you’ve likely heard those famous words—and maybe even tasted the magic yourself.

It’s time to tie your napkin ‘round your neck and let us proudly present… the Grey Stuff!

A Taste of Disney Parks at Home

The “Grey Stuff” is one of the most iconic—and most requested—treats found in Disney Parks around the world. Served on a crispy cookie and topped with sugar pearls, this whipped cookies-and-cream delight is as fun to make as it is to eat.

While nothing beats enjoying it inside Beast’s Castle, we’ve created a simple version you can make at home with the whole family. And to take it up a notch? Why not plan a Beauty and the Beast movie night on Disney+—the animated version, the live-action remake… or both!

Simple At-Home Grey Stuff Recipe

Inspired by the “Ultimate Grey Stuff” at Disney Parks

Makes 12 servings

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups cold whole milk
1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
15 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
1 (8 oz) container whipped topping, thawed
3 tablespoons instant chocolate pudding mix
12 scalloped sugar cookies (store-bought or homemade)
Edible sugar pearls (for that royal touch)

Directions:

Make the Base:
In a large bowl, whisk the cold milk and vanilla pudding mix for about 2 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened. Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until set.
Crush the Cookies:
While the pudding sets, pulse the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor until they become fine crumbs (almost like a purée).
Mix the Magic:
Fold the cookie crumbs into the vanilla pudding. Then add the whipped topping and chocolate pudding mix. Stir until well combined.
Chill Again:
Place the mixture back in the refrigerator to chill for another hour—it firms up just enough for perfect piping!
Assemble the Enchantment:
Spoon the “Grey Stuff” into a piping bag fitted with a star or swirl tip. Pipe onto the sugar cookies in a spiral pattern and top with sugar pearls.
Serve & Enjoy:
Enjoy while watching Beauty and the Beast for a magical night in!
