Grey Stuff...Disney Recipe

“Try the grey stuff, it’s delicious! Don’t believe me? Ask the dishes!”

During the coronavirus quarantine lot's of foodie places have been sharing certain recipes, and I was delighted to come across some Disney shared recipes, I will certainly be trying a good few of them.

This first one is for a dessert called Grey Stuff which comes from the Beauty and the Beast film..'try the grey stuff, it's delicious", which is available at the Be Our Guest restaurant.

It is an Oreo filled whipped vanilla and chocolate dessert topped with sprinkles that has a delicious creamy almost butterscotch flavour to it.

It calls for 8 oz cool whip which is not available here in Australia, so I tried it with whipped cream stabelized with icing sugar to make it stiffer, for every one cup of whipping cream add 3 tbsp icing sugar, start by whipping the cream with a whisk attachment, then slowly add the icing sugar, continue to beat until stiff peaks hold their shape firmly. For the milk, I used the amount it said on the dessert mix, but this may vary according to the mix you use.

Ingredients

1 packet vanilla dessert mix

680 ml cold whole milk

15 original Oreos

1 cup thickened cream

3 tbsp icing sugar

2 tbsp chocolate dessert mix

sprinkles

Method

1. Make vanilla dessert according to packet directions and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

2. Place oreos in a food processor and blend until they become powdery crumbs.

3. Whip cream with whisk attachment, slowly adding the icing sugar as you whip, continue to beat until stiff peaks form firmly.

4. Remove vanilla dessert from fridge, add crushed oreos, mix well to combine.

5. Fold in cream mixture and chocolate dessert mix until well combined. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.

6. When ready to serve, place the "grey stuff" in a piping bag with a star nozzle attached. Add a dollop of dessert in the middle of the plate or cookie then using a twist motion spiral around, working upwards in a cone shape. Sprinkle with crushed oreos and sprinkles.

If it isn't decadent enough for you, pipe some on top of a double choc cookie!!

Aussie Pie Floater

With Australia day fast approaching, I had to share this Aussie icon. The pie floater is a meat pie submerged in thick pea soup, the pies are traditionally turned upside down sitting or sometimes submerged in the pea soup. The first time I had ever heard of this was while watching an episode of Billy Connolly's Australian tour. He was doing a show in Adelaide and indulged in one of these south Aussie icons. We tried a similar thing called a tiger pie from Harry's Cafe de Wheels on the Sydney harbour, the Tiger is a meat pie served with scoop of mash a scoop of mushy peas and a scoop of gravy, it was really delicious. A pie floater put simply is a meat pie on top of or covered in green pea soup with a choice of sauce squirted on top, the usual being ketchup, brown sauce, mint sauce, gravy or bbq sauce, some people also enjoy vinegar over their floater, I suppose the options can be endless, whatever 'floats' your pie!!. I searched a few variou...
