“Try the Grey Stuff, it’s delicious! Don’t believe us…” Well you know who to ask!!
We of course couldn’t have a Beauty & the Beast dinner without making some of the “Grey Stuff” for dessert!! This yummy treat is available at Be Our Guest restaurant inside Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, but you can also duplicate it at home with this simple to make recipe! I’ve made it a few different ways, so I will share what has worked the best for me and I like the color to be a rich silvery color.
What You’ll Need
This is such a simple recipe! Bake cupcakes and use it as a frosting or serve it on it’s own (what I call “plated”) to be a perfectly thematic dessert!
You’ll need to have a container of Oreos, 14-18 Oreos for a large batch mix, and 6-10 Oreos for a smaller batch. Container of whipped topping, one full container for a large batch mix, or half a container for the smaller batch. Box of chocolate instant pudding or other chocolate powder. And for the larger batch, it makes sense to use a instant vanilla pudding box and you’ll make the entire thing. If you need only 4-6 servings, you can make the grey stuff out of the ready made pudding cups, which I’ll share that recipe down below!
I used a blender to pulse the Oreos, and you can use a food processor or other item to get them chopped into a fine cookie powder.
How to Put it Together
There are a few ways to make it, the vanilla instant pudding box way has been shared in a number of times in the Disney Facebook groups over the years, and I put my own spin on how many Oreos I use – the ingredients remain fairly simple, so there’s no way you can mess this one up! This is truly one of the quickest desserts you can make!
Large Batch Grey Stuff
This recipe makes a larger batch of the grey stuff that you can use to serve on top of cupcakes or on individual plates. It can stay refrigerated for a few days if you don’t use it all at your party, and makes a great snack if I say so myself!
– 1 package vanilla instant pudding mix blended together with 1.5 cups of cold milk
– Chill the pudding in the fridge while you blend the cookies
– Crush 15-18 Oreos into pieces to put into the blender and pulse them to get a fine cookie powder. I like to do only about 5 cookies at a time in my blender.
– Mix together the cookie pieces and vanilla pudding.
– Add in 1 full container of whipped topping
– Add 4-6 tbsp of chocolate pudding mix powder (just powder) to get a silver grey color
From here I chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes, I place the mixture into Wilson’s decorating bags and used a star tip to spread the Grey Stuff on top of cupcakes or onto plates!
Smaller Serving Ready Made Pudding Grey Stuff
This is the alternate way of putting it together using smaller single serving pudding cups! You’ll need 2-4 of these cups and you mix the ingredients together the same way, it just saves a bit of time, makes a smaller amount, and tastes just as delicious!
– 2 ready made vanilla pudding cups
– Pulse 5 Oreos in blender
– 2/3 cup whipped cream topping
– 1 tbsp chocolate pudding instant mix (just the powder)
Mix the ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
Chill for 10 minutes, and you’re ready to serve! Quick, easy, and perfect for a small family!
