I made these, and they are sinful! I used half & half in place of the heavy cream and it worked just fine. Next time I would cut the topping recipe in half (it was very thick) and add the chopped pecans to it BEFORE spreading it. They didn't want to stay on top, even after I pressed them down a little.

I am always shocked when there people who do not the very basic information in regard to food prep. Hard for me to believe someone doesn't know "heavy cream" Thank goddnes that Mr. Food does such a great job of writting out easy instructions.
