Happy Movie Monday friends! I am excited to share a recipe inspired by March’s movie: Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. My girls and I can’t wait to see the movie on opening weekend and I will be sure to come back and update this post with pics!
I made “The Grey Stuff” which is from my favorite song in the movie, “Be Our Guest” sung by the charming candlestick Luminere.
They serve it at Disney World at the Be Our Guest restaurant as a cookies and cream type mousse on top of a cupcake and on it’s own. We loved it during our trip to Disney in 2014 and I can’t wait to go back! I experimented with a few recipes but in the end decided homemade whipped cream with pudding and Oreos was just right!
Check out my recipe and the link up with other talented bloggers recipes and crafts inspired by Beauty and the Beast!

I'd try the grey stuff! It looks delicious 🙂
So cute! And such a super fun idea!
What a fun tie-in to the movie! I LOVE it! I never imagined "the gray stuff" was a delicious cupcake, lol! But of course, that make it so much more clever. We also can't wait to go see the movie. But I think I may be going alone, I doubt I'll be able to drag my teenage sons to see it, ha! I'm pinning your recipe now, well done!
What a great recipe & I love the teacup. Your daughter's pic is priceless! So cute!
