Comments

I am unsure that this should be called vegan when it seems to make use of cream & cream cheese neither of which are normally "vegan" - so unless the missing ingredient lists specify vegan alternatives anybody trying to follow this recipe and naming could face legal challenges.

would you be able to list the ingredients? Tks
