Tip: I used half-and-half instead of heavy whipping cream because I happened to have some in the fridge. It worked just fine and cut down on the fat. Don't let the green chilies scare you away if you're afraid it will be too spicy. The garlic and cream help to tone down the chilies and you get a great flavor without all the spice, just make sure you buy mild green chilies not hot.
