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!

Recipe from The Disney Diner.
Are we positive that the amount of pudding mix is correct for four servings above? I’m seeing 13.4 oz of vanilla pudding mix. I assumed the “1” was a mistake and just went with 3.4 oz. It still turned out okay, but maybe my pudding just didn’t turn out as great as yours.
Does it matter whether we use instant or cook-n-serve pudding mix? I accidentally bought some of each and didn’t realize it until I’d opened them all and saw that the two different vanilla powders were different colors. It’s very snowy out, and I’d really like not to make another drive to the store tonight.
This is great! I am planning a Beauty and the Beast vow renewal next year (25th anniversary) and this will be a perfect surprise for everyone. I am curious about the serving size for this and how many servings this makes? I am planning for 50 people in attendance.
How fun!! It doesn’t make too much. All the ingredients are small amounts. I am now sure how many times you would need to times it by. I would make one batch & see if you like it first, then go from there. It also depends on the serving size.
Hi just
Had a question on directions. Is the vanilla and chocolate pudding mixed together with milk or do you fold the chocolate powder in later with cool whip on its own? I haven’t been able to find the answer through all of the comments. Thanks for the recipe! Look forward to trying it!
Yes, the two are mixed with the milk, then you will add the oreos, & later the cool whip 🙂 Hope you like it!
Hi! Is this thick enough to be used as a cake frosting or filling?
Yes, you could 🙂 It would make a great filling!
Thank you for sharing this recipe!❤️ I am in love with the plate!!!! Did you make it or purchase it somewhere? I would really like these for my daughters wedding!???? It won’t let me give 5 stars???
You are welcome! I bought it, but can’t remember where..LOL! We love this stuff! I would google or try amazon?
I know this is many years late but I just found your recipe and I know the answer to the question haha. I have the same plates. It was part of a line of plates and bowls and platters for “Be Our Guest” chalkboard theme from Disney. I got my bowls AT disney and my plates came from the ShopDisney site. Unfortunately, you really only get them from ebay now…and that’s pretty rough! They’re my every day set in my kitchen, though, and I love them! I hope you found them back in 2018! I think they were discontinued around that time, though.
In other news, thanks for the recipe!
This is probably a crazy question but the chocolate pudding do you make up with milk as well then add to it or do you just add 2 tsp of the powder to it?
You don’t make up the pudding & then add more milk. You mix the powder & milk & refrigerate & then follow the instructions on the recipe. Hope that helps! Hope you like this recipe, as much as we do!
Is TB tablespoon or teaspoon? I thought tablespoon but Rene above wrote tsp (teaspoon) and you didn’t correct it. So just wanted to confirm. Thanks!
TB is tablespoon. I must have missed what she wrote. Hope that helps you! Enjoy!
I had a question about the 2 TB choc pudding mix. Do I actually make that into pudding first or am I just folding the “pudding mix powder” with the cool whip?
You just use 2T of the pudding mix 🙂 Thanks & enjoy!
Has anyone calculated how many ounces this makes?
Hi, have you ever tried it without the Cool Whip, with whipped cream instead maybe?
I have not, but it would probably be great! Thanks so much! And, hope you like!
We’ve made this several times. One of our favorite ways to serve it is piped onto a brownie with crushed Oreo garnish. It’s easy to slice and serve at parties. Thanks for this fun delicious recipe!
That sounds so good!! Thanks for sharing that!!
Taste was great but I used mega stuffed Oreos and it was too soft to pipe out. It certainly didn’t come out like icing it was more pudding like. Do you think the Oreos I used made the difference?
Hmm..it shouldn’t be that soft. I don’t think the oreos would have caused that. Did you refrigerate the pudding mix? You didn’t make the pudding according to directions & then add milk? I’m just trying to think of all the reasons.
