What Is The Grey Stuff?
All Disney fans will know the song “Be Our Guest” that’s part of the film Beauty and the Beast. In it Lumiere, the candle, sings about the grey stuff.
“Try the gray stuff, it’s delicious
Don’t believe me? Ask the dishes”.
When the film first came out viewers were curious about what the grey stuff was? When the Be Our Guest restaurant opened in 2012 at Disney World theme parks the grey stuff became a very popular Disney food item at the beast’s castle. And it was just as delicious as the song said it would be!
The Disney version is quite easy to make at home, and an easy way to include this movie detail in your Beauty and The Beast themed movie night at home. You’ll love this copycat recipe, and have so much fun making it in your own kitchen.

What Is The Grey Stuff Made Of?
The grey stuff is a creamy mousse made with pudding, oreo cookies, and cool whip. It’s fluffy and pudding like. It’s often served on top of a cup cake, brownie, piece of cake or a cookie. We served ours on a delicious shortbread cookie -you can find the recipe for theshortbread cookies here.The shortbread was a great base for the grey stuff, because the cookie was a great crispy contrast to the texture of the creamy grey stuff. You can also serve it on its own like a pudding a mousse.
Tips For Making Your Own Grey Stuff Recipe
- don’t make the pudding according to the package directions, we’re using the pudding mix powder as an ingredient
- use the whole Oreo cookie, don’t remove the icing when you’re making your oreo crumbs
- to keep the Oreo’s from turning into a paste in the food processor when you’re trying to make a fine crumbs, don’t over blend them, and try working with cold Oreos
- refrigerate the grey stuff before piping to make it easier to work with, and better able to hold its shape
- serve the grey stuff on its own, or on top of a cookie, cake, cupcake, or brownie or as a fruitdip.

We loved enjoying the grey stuff on our shortbread cookies, it would also be delicious on sugar cookies. Use a piping bag to pipe it on top of the cookies. It’s also delicious served on cake for your own grey stuff gateau, or cupcakes. You could also enjoy it piped into a mini ice cream cone. There are so many different ways to enjoy the actual grey stuff.
It was the perfect way to a little Disney magic to our dessert for our Beauty and the Beast themed dessert. Try it next time you’re at Disney World in the Be Our Guest restaurant, but in the meantime, enjoy this make at home version any time you want a treat.
