The real star of the cupcake is The Grey Stuff – it’s delicious, don’t believe me? Ask the dishes! At Be Our Guest, you can find The Grey Stuff as The Master’s Cupcake at breakfast and lunch, and as part of the dessert trio at dinner in a white chocolate “Chip” cup.

At Disneyland you can find it at the Red Rose Taverne; it coats a red velvet cake on top of a sugar cookie!

Disney released their official grey stuff recipe, but we tweaked it a little bit. This recipe is perfect for a Beauty and the Beast themed party. My husband also thinks it would make an amazing cake filling, and I have to agree with him there!

Once again we have the wrong piping bag tip (I swear I’m picking up the right one very soon!!) But the recipe tasted delicious both on it’s own, and just as pudding!

Final Thoughts

Another sort of fail Disney recipe! What we’ve learned is that they may not look amazing, they taste pretty good and that’s what counts

We have been having fun trying to make Disney treats at home! I polled you on Instagram & Facebook on what we should make next, and we decided it should be pão de queijo – Brazilian cheese bread that you can find at the Brazil booth of the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival.

I’ll be honest, I have made these a few times – and they are always yummy! I love the gooey cheesy centres of these. I have also had them at the Food & Wine Festival.

These delicious little pillows of cheese are gluten free because they are made with tapioca flour! Finding tapioca flour might be difficult depending on where you live – I always find it at my local bulk food store, which is great because you can buy just the right amount. Bobs Red Mills also makes it. Sometimes it is called tapioca starch; it’s the same thing! You can not substitute the tapioca flour for anything else, the texture will not be the same.

Disney hasn’t released their “official” recipe for these, but I have consulted many food blogs, including those written by Brazilians. The recipes found online can vary since each family tends to put their own spin on the recipe by adding different cheeses or spices. The recipe I used is pretty simple; only 8 ingredients! 

Note: pão de queijo is best when eaten fresh & hot. This recipe makes about 30 rolls. If you can’t eat that many right away you can form the balls and freeze them, then cook them fresh whenever you have that craving!

Tips For Making Churros

1. Make sure you have the right piping tip. You’ll need Wilton tip 8B. The 1M tip will work too. We didn’t have the right tip, so the shape was a little funky, which made the texture not quite right.
2. Be careful heating up your oil. You want the oil to be hot enough that the churros cook, but not too hot that the oil explodes… You’ll want the temperature to be at 350F
3. Roll in cinnamon sugar right away so that it sticks!
4. Have fun! Even if you don’t have the right tip, and oil splatters all over the place, you can still have fun doing it
