You will love this simple no-bake Carpet dessert, made with layers of silky and smooth pudding cream, and espresso-soaked tea biscuits. It is then decorated with a beautiful pattern of crushed Oreos, shredded coconut, and chocolate.
If you’re looking for a new no-bake dessert, you’ve come to the right place. This carpet dessert got its name from its topping, it’s decorated in a pattern to look like a carpet. It’s super simple to make, and perfect for potlucks, gatherings, parties, and the holidays!
If you’re looking for more delicious no-bake desserts, try my Pineapple Dream Dessert, Heaven on Earth Cake, or my Nescafe Cake!
This is a no-bake dessert, very similar to the Easy Nescafe cake, it is made out of layers of biscuits/crackers (I LOVE layered desserts!!) and is covered with a thick layer of rich cream that is fluffy and light but is also rich at the same time! The cream is flavored with cream caramel and that is my absolutely favorite taste!! Seriously, one of the best!
The fun part is the decoration part, you can be creative and make different designs but it is usually made to look like a carpet! I thought that it would be also nice to decorate with green pistachios to add some color and flavor but I didn’t have any on hand when I was making this dessert.

Choclette says
Well I thought I knew all the Middle Eastern desserts, but I’ve not come across this one before. It sounds thoroughly decedent and delicious – the sort of thing I’d find it hard not to have second helpings of.

I will be posting more Middle Eastern desserts this summer! Thank you for stopping by 🙂
Camilla says

Diana, my dear! What a stunning, tasty yet easy dessert. I love the idea that it is a no-bake…
Thanks again for the link for my Mallomars Trifle. I am looking forward for summer to make what we call in my home country,Brazil, “pava” or trifle with layered cookies. We basically have two types: one layered in a pyrex like this one of yours, and other that is unmolded and look like a box. Have a delicious week! I am pinning this for sure!!!
