What is the Grey Stuff?
The Grey Stuff is a dessert that's mentioned in the song "Be Our Guest" from the Beauty and the Beast movie. It's described as a "delicious" and "sweet" treat, but there's not much more information given about it in the film. Disney World's Be Our Guest restaurant took that idea and ran with it, creating their own version of the Grey Stuff that's become a fan favorite.
Where can you find the Grey Stuff?
The Grey Stuff is exclusively served at the Be Our Guest restaurant in Disney World's Magic Kingdom. This restaurant is located in Fantasyland, and it's designed to look like the Beast's castle from the movie. The Grey Stuff is served as a dessert on their dinner menu, which is a table-service meal. Reservations are highly recommended, as this restaurant is very popular and can fill up quickly.
How does it taste?
The Grey Stuff is a cookies-and-cream flavored dessert that's served on a chocolate cookie crust. It's topped with a whipped cream frosting and decorated with a few small edible pearls. Many people who have tried it describe it as rich and creamy, but not overly sweet. Some have compared it to a mousse or pudding-like texture.
