    Wow, does this look good. It doesn't say when to add the cream, but I bet you don't even need it.

    A cup of heavy cream? Seriously? Surely there has to be a substitute. I never even cooked with heavy cream when I wasn't dieting.

    I personally used almond milk, but to each their own

    Evaporated (canned) skim milk is often a good substitute for cream. Fat free yogurt or sour cream works too, though it would give it a slightly different taste.

    That's an awesome substitute! I'm going to try it myself next time. I also use low carb milk. It still has that thickness to it.

    That looks and sounds delicious! You wouldn't happen to know a calorie count would you?

    Thank you! It's about 184 cal, 6g fat, 4g carbs, 17g protein. It can vary depending on what substitute you use for the cream.

    I gave this a spin and used non-fat ricotta cheese instead of the cream.

    Delicious! :)
