Have you tried the Grey Stuff? It’s delicious! This is a simple, crowd-pleasing recipe inspired by Beauty and the Beast—perfect for a Disney princess party or themed bridal shower.
For a Disney Princess themed bridal shower I helped host, every dish reflected a different movie. My favorite was the Grey Stuff from Beauty and the Beast: a creamy, cookies-and-cream dessert finished with edible pearls for an elegant presentation.
This recipe is quick and easy. It combines instant pudding, crushed Oreo cookies and whipped cream to create a smooth, grey-hued dessert you can pipe into individual cups for a beautiful display. I used disposable dessert liners from craft stores and arranged the cups on a cupcake tower so guests could easily serve themselves.
