Would like to try this but for one or maybe two as Iive on my own and do not think I could freeze it with cream in it

This was very tasty. I used half & half instead of double cream since that was what I had at the time and used a bit of cornstarch to thicken the sauce and it came out flavorful yet mild enough so my toddler can eat it. Will save this recipe.
