How to make The Grey Stuff
- Add 1 package of INSTANT VANILLA PUDDING and milk in a large mixing bowl and whisk well until pudding is creamy and smooth.
- Refrigerate instant pudding for 10 minutes to chill.
- Meanwhile, remove Oreo cream from center and add Oreo cookies to a food processor and pulse process until you have fine Oreo Cookie crumbs. If you do not have a food processor, try a blender, or simply place cookies in a large gallon sized baggie and crush with the bottom of a glass cup or rolling pin.
- Remove any large chunks of cookie, or re-process until all of the cookies are a fine crumb. If there are any large pieces of cookie, the star tip will clog later in the recipe.
- Remove vanilla pudding from the refrigerator and add in the fine Oreo crumbs, thawed whipped topping and dry tablespoons Instant Pudding Chocolate pudding mix.
- Lightly mix all ingredients together, folding gently with a spatula until just combined.
