Those players looking to earn more Star Coins in Disney Dreamlight Valley and complete recipe requests are going to have to collect as many ingredients as possible. This requires progression through the game's story and unlocking all the different biomes. Finding recipes outside experimenting at a stove can be a bit of a challenge, however, and those looking to make particular items in Disney Dreamlight Valley can end up going through a number of resources without luck.
One such item that can be troublesome to create is the memorable Gray Stuff dessert from Beauty and the Beast. This 3-Star recipe requires materials that cannot be gathered in the starting areas. Consequently, it is out of reach for beginner players of Disney Dreamlight Valley. For those looking to complete this dessert, this guide is here to help.
How to Make Gray Stuff in Disney Dreamlight Valley?
In order to craft this recipe players will need to gather one example of a Cocoa Bean, Sugarcane, and any Dairy Product. These three ingredients in Disney Dreamlight Valley combined at any of the game's cooking stations will produce a single example of Gray Stuff. Its resale value starts at 175 Star Coins and can replenish 1,046 energy or more depending on any additional ingredients. Gray Stuff traces its origins to Beauty and the Beast's Be Our Guest song.
Where to Find the Ingredients in Disney Dreamlight Valley?
These ingredients are a challenge to locate for those just starting the game. Firstly, players looking to track down Sugarcane need to unlock Dazzle Beach for 1,000 of Disney Dreamlight Valley's Dreamlight currency. On the southeastern portion of the beach, players need to restore the Goofy produce stand there in order to purchase Sugarcane seeds. Planting and watering these will quickly produce the first ingredient.
The next ingredient, dairy products, can be unlocked through the opening of the Dream Castle, home of Disney Dreamlight Valley's Shy Robot, Little Chef, and Demigod. Choosing the Little Chef door and completing the quest inside will recruit Remy and allow for the creation of the Chez Remy restaurant through the quest A Restaurant Makeover. Once this is done, players can purchase Butter (190 Star Coins), Cheese (180 Star Coins), Egg (220 Star Coins), and Milk (230 Star Coins). Any of these can be used for the creation of Gray Stuff.
The final ingredient, Cocoa Bean, grows in the Sunlit Plateau and can be harvested from the smaller trees around this area, similar to Apples. The Sunlit Plateau costs 7,000 Dreamlight to unlock and is a few expense levels above some other biomes in the game. If players upgrade Goofy's shop in this biome they also open up the opportunity to purchase Cocoa Beans outright.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
