If you’ve ever found yourself craving the famous “Grey Stuff” from Disney parks, then we’ve got the recipe for you! This sweet treat from Beauty and the Beast has become a fan favorite dish at the parks, and now you can recreate the Grey Stuff at home. Cardmembers, remember that on your next visit to the parks, you can redeem Disney Rewards Dollars toward trying the Grey Stuff at Be Our Guest Restaurant at Walt Disney World® Resort and Red Rose Taverne at the Disneyland® Resort.1 Regardless of whether you try the Grey Stuff in the parks or in your own kitchen, don’t be deceived by its humble appearance; there’s more to it than meets the eye, much like the Beast himself.

The Origin of Disney’s Grey Stuff

In Beauty and the Beast, when a hungry Belle finds herself wandering the Beast’s castle on her first night, Lumiere insists that she rest and relax while the enchanted staff treats her to an unforgettable dinner. Early in the meal, Lumiere unveils a gleaming silver platter, presenting Belle with an enticing array of small bites—including the mysterious Grey Stuff! Belle dips a finger in the beautifully piped swirl, which sits atop a cookie with scalloped edges, creating an iconic movie moment that fans have been eager to try in real life ever since.

How Chefs Created the Grey Stuff

For this at-home version of the Grey Stuff, you’ll be creating a pudding with whipped topping folded in. A puree of chocolate sandwich cookies stirred in lends the dessert its distinctive grey hue. Once it’s all mixed together and chilled, a sprinkling of sugar pearls adds a delightful finishing touch.

Note: This version of the Grey Stuff recipe has been converted specifically for home cooks to use. It may vary slightly from the version made in larger quantities in Disney’s kitchens.
