This is an un-usual recipe which I’ve taken from my friend LIZA. As usual, her recipes are so delicious and unique. I highly recommend trying it. Enjoy!

Serves 8 to 10

Ingredients

2 packets Marie or morning Coffee biscuits
3 tins (170gm) Thick cream (in Arabic: Qeshta)
3 cups Pepsi
3 packets cream caramel powder
For topping: 1 sachet (38gm or 42gm) Dream Whip+ 1 tin Thick cream+ 3 tbsp Milk powder+ 2 tsp Icing sugar+ 1 tbsp water
3-4 tbsp grated chocolate for garnishing

Method

Mix cream caramel powder+ Pepsi. Stir well and bring to boil. Reduce heat and continue cooking for 3-5 minutes. Set aside and let it cool completely, about ½ hour, it will start to thicken.
In a 9 x 11 inch rectangular baking dish, arrange one layer of biscuits. Spread 1 ½ tin thick cream then arrange another layer of biscuits.
Pour half the cream caramel-Pepsi mixture over biscuits. Keep in fridge for about 10 minutes.
Just before it solidifies, take out and arrange another layer of biscuits, then spread rest of thick cream, then arrange another layer of biscuits.
Pour the rest of the Pepsi mixture. Cover and keep back in fridge till it becomes hard and cold, about 1 hour, or overnight.
Meanwhile, using electric mixture, whip topping ingredients together till mixture becomes thick, about 5-7 minutes.
Spread cream mix over Pepsi layer, arrange as desired. Garnish with grated chocolate.

Hi Huda, I live in Australia. I'm just wondering if Dream Whip and Cream caramel Powder are the same as 'Instant Pudding ' Powder? All your recipes are tempting to make but the ingredients you use are maybe a bit different than what we have here in Oz. andy advice or insight please? thanks and God bless your hands which cook and bake each day!

  Dear Smily77.. Thank sooo much for your sweet words :-) regarding the dream whip, it's a non-dairy whipping cream powder, sweetened.. you can replace it by whipped sweetened whipping cream, fold it to the ingredients in the recipes which require dream-whipp.. As for the cream caramel powder, it's not Instant pudding, It's a ready-made powder when you mix it with milk and heat heat, then pour it in cups and cool it, you'll get cream brulee.. I'll ask a friend of mine if there's anything similar to it in Australia, cz she lives there and she knows the cream caramel and can tell me if there's any replacement ... and so sorry for the late reply dear!

  you find it in the supermarket next to Jello powder packets.. comes in brands like Foster Clarks or any other brands in where ur living.. it's a pack with envelope of cream powder + envelope of caramel sugar.. the powder is usually mixed with milk, heated, poured in smalls deep bowls inwhich u have divided the caramel sugar in their bottom, let it cool, fridge, to get ready to eat cream caramel .. so this powder we use ti in many desserts we make .. where do u live my dear ?? which country ???
