Heavy Cream - Use your favorite heavy cream in this recipe. Whipping cream will work too.
Yogurt - Use full-fat yogurt or greek yogurt in this recipe. Feel free to substitute with sour cream.
Condensed milk - Condensed milk makes a delicious milky flavor, and adds just the right amount of sugar. Feel free to substitute with agave syrup.
