Ooohh, the double cream version sounds yummy too—but so DECADENT! I love the tweaks you've made to lower the calories. This sounds like just the comfort food fix I need!

Helen - Cooking with my kids ★ 5.0/5

This looks delicious. I feel the same as you about cream. I rarely have it or use it so am always trying different substitutes. #cookblogshare
