    No, actually the following should work just fine:

    "{{([^}]*)}}"
    

    Edit:
    As pointed out by dtb the expression above fails for a string containing a single } within the double brackets. To handle this case the following example would do a much better job:

    "{{((?:}(?!})|[^}])*)}}"
    

    Edit 2: The simplest solution however would probably be the following:

    "{{(.*?)}}"
