Description

This Disney Copycat Grey Stuff recipe recreates the iconic dessert served at Disney parks with a smooth, creamy Oreo-flavored mousse. Featuring a custard base infused with crushed Oreos and lightened with whipped cream, this indulgent treat is perfect for parties or any Disney-themed occasion.


Ingredients

Custard Base

  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar

Mix-ins and Toppings

  • 1 package of Oreos
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • Pearl sprinkles (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the egg mixture: Whisk the egg and granulated sugar together in a large bowl until the mixture turns pale yellow and slightly thickened.
  2. Add starches: Incorporate flour and cornstarch into the egg mixture and continue whisking until thoroughly combined and smooth.
  3. Heat the milk: Pour milk into a medium pot and heat over medium flame until it reaches a low simmer, making sure not to boil.
  4. Temper the eggs: Slowly stream half of the warm milk into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.
  5. Cook the custard: Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the pot with the remaining milk and return to medium heat. Whisk continuously until the mixture comes to a boil.
  6. Boil and cool: Allow the custard to boil gently for 3 to 4 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
  7. Process Oreos: Use a food processor or blender to grind Oreos into fine crumbs for a smooth texture.
  8. Whip the cream: With a hand mixer or whisk, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form, ensuring a light and airy consistency.
  9. Combine custard and Oreos: Stir the cooled custard and Oreo crumbs together until evenly mixed.
  10. Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the Oreo custard mixture using a spatula to maintain airiness.
  11. Pipe and chill: Transfer the mixture into a piping bag and pipe servings onto plates or into serving cups. Optionally, sprinkle pearl sprinkles on top before refrigerating until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Be careful when tempering the eggs to prevent curdling.
  • The custard must be cooled completely before folding in whipped cream to keep the mousse light.
  • Using a piping bag gives the dessert a professional presentation but is optional.
  • Pearl sprinkles add a decorative touch reminiscent of the Disney Parks presentation.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for optimal freshness.
