Your recipe looks so YUMMY! Is it possible to use 2% milk instead of heavy cream? I never buy the stuff and we’re all kind of “fluffy” in my house (if you know what I mean)! Thanks!

LOL @ referring to yourself as fluffy, Shelly! This recipe can of course be “lightened up” with 2% milk! Another thing that you can use instead of heavy cream is evaporated milk in the can. I make this all sorts of ways depending on what I have in the house. Let me know how it turns out! ❤️
