Disney World’s “Grey Stuff” recipe!! Tastes just like the recipe from the Be Our Guest restaurant. So smooth and made with vanilla and chocolate pudding mix, milk, whipped cream, and Oreos and topped with sprinkles!!
We love Disneyland treats!! If you do too, check out our Churro recipe, Apple Pie Caramel Apple and Churro Toffee.
Beauty & The Beast’s “Grey Stuff”
Disney World is amazing! Not only are the rides and shows awesome, but so is the food!
One of the most popular restaurants there is “Be Our Guest” at Magic Kingdom. We knew we’d have to try, and I’m so glad we did. The decor and atmosphere were amazing, and the food was delicious.
We had hear that we HAD to try the “Grey Stuff” (it’s delicious – don’t believe me? Ask the dishes!) It ended up being one of my kids’ favorites treats, so I knew we had to recreate it at home. I”m happy to report that it tastes JUST like it.
It’s a cool, Oreo-filled dessert that everyone loves! If you’re looking to make a yummy treat for the family I recommend making this “Grey Stuff” recipe. I told the kids we’d make it again and watch “Beauty & The Beast” before it. The kids were stoked!!
And if you can’t make it to Disney, you can at least try this amazing treat at home. 😉
How to Make the Grey Stuff
To make this treat, begin by combining the pudding mix and milk. Whisk well and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
While pudding is setting up, place Oreos in a food processor (we used our Ninja) and blend until fine. Mix the crushed Oreos in the pudding mix and mix well.
Fold in the whipped cream (or Cool Whip) and chocolate pudding mix until well combined and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
When ready to serve, place the “grey stuff” in a piping bag and add a dollop to the middle and then pipe around in a spiral around it. Top with sprinkles or candy pearls
Recipe Notes:
- Don’t remove the filling from the Oroeos. They won’t make the oreos paste like, instead the filling distributes nicely and sweetens the finely chopped oreo crumbs.
- Do not make the pudding according to the box, you will only be using the pudding powder.
- To help the piped swirls stay firm, place the mixture into the piping bag, then put i it into the freezer for 15-30 minutes, then pipe.
How to Serve and store
Ways to serve: I really love the look of the piped grey stuff on a pretty plate. It’s unique and eye catching, however, you can easily serve it in many other ways and pair it with other desserts. Here are a few ideas:
- Pipe the grey stuff into individual cups such a s small clear plastic cups. Pretty tea cups would also be fun to use. Another idea is to use sturdy decorative cupcake liners
- Pipe onto brownie squares, sugar cookies, or shortbread cookies.
- Use it as a dip for cookies and other sweet treats.
- Put a dollop on top of ice cream
- Use the grey stuff as a filling for a cookie sandwich
- Place in an oreo or graham cracker pie crust
- Filling for cupcakes, donuts, and other desserts. Just keep them refrigerated.
Storage: This recipe is similar to our oreo dirt cake, which still tastes fantastic when made a day before serving. Be sure to cover the bowl and store in the fridge. Give it a nice mix before putting the grey stuff in a piping bag or serving bowl.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. Though, at my house, it’s always eaten within a day or two!

Hey, I was wondering how well does it keep? Can I make it the day before I need it? Or is it best made the same day it is eaten?
I would suggest eating the day you make. I haven’t tried making it ahead, but that’s just my opinion. Hope that helps!! Thank you!
It actually tastes better the next day imo
I am glad you think so! Thank you for sharing that!
Actually just made it for tomorrow, and I threw it in an oreo pie shell so I dont have to pipe it for prettiness!
Perfect!! Thank you so much for sharing that! Happy Thanksgiving!
The “Grey stuff” recipe looks amazing. Thanks for sharing this with us. It does not mention though how many it serves. I would like to make this for my daughter’s Beauty and the Beast themed bridal shower. We are expected approximately 100 and will also have a marble cake for dessert too. Do you think 4 x’s the amount listed in the recipe would be enough? I would like to fill two nice size bowls of this that guests can help themselves to. Thank you for your help.
That would be perfect! It doesn’t make a whole lot, since it’s just an 8 ounce tub of cool whip with a few more ingredients. You would probably need to do more than 4 x’s. You could always make one batch to see if you like it, then you can see how much it makes & decide from there. Good luck and that theme sounds beautiful!!
This recipe is awesome! Easy to do and the kids love it! Making it for the second time in 2 weeks now.
Haha..my kids love it, too!! Thanks for letting me know! I love to know when recipes are a keeper!!
This sounds delicious but do you think you can top cupcakes or a cake with this?
Hmmm, I haven’t tried it but you could probably top it on a cold cake (one that needs refrigeration). 😉
We make this to frost chocolate cupcakes. Works well with peppermint Oreos, too.
I made this last night and it was delicious! I used fat free cool whip since that is all they had at the store and it turned out well. Also since someone asked and I was curious as well – the oreos will turn into crumbs just fine if you put them in the food processor whole, no need to scoop out the cream. I will be saving this recipe!
Hi! I’d like to make this ahead of time for a party, do you know how long this is going to keep?
I’d make it the day of, fresh is best 🙂 The morning of will be good.
How many will this serve?
I was wondering the same!
Depending on the serving size, it could feed 4-6:)
Loveee this! My boss just came back from Disney and raved about this. I can’t wait to make it for her. Thanks so much!!
Did you scoop out the cream from the Oreos or leave them whole in the ninja? If you left them whole, the cream doesn’t turn it into a paste like consistency?
I was wondering this as well!
You put them in whole. Hope that helps!!
Oh my, so have to try this. But I think I need the plate! Where did you get the plate? Love your site it is WONDERFUL!
Yes, you do! It’s so yummy!! And the plate is from Disney World. We were there in May over Mother’s Day and my kids picked it out for me. 😉
Thank you Kristyn. Have a good day!
You too, Liz!!
