Redeem now

While you may not be able to bring all the attractions and characters of Disney Parks to your home, there's one aspect of the fun family day out you can easily recreate: the food.

Disney has shared numerous recipes of the most popular dishes from its parks around the world, from cookie fries to grilled cheese. 

But if there's one that "Beauty and the Beast" fans will surely want to make, it's "The Grey Stuff."

For those of you scratching your heads at the mysterious name, allow us to remind you of the wonderful lyrics from "Be Our Guest:"

"Be our guest
Be our guest
Put our service to the test
Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie
And we provide the rest
Soup du jour
Hot hors d'oeuvres
Why, we only live to serve
Try the grey stuff, it's delicious
Don't believe me? Ask the dishes."

Anyone who has tried "The Grey Stuff" will surely be able to join the dishes in attesting that it is, indeed, delicious.

Served in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast"-themed cafes, it's essentially a whipped cookies and cream pudding, served on top of a cookie.

Here's how to make it, according to the official recipe:

Ingredients
