you have to cook it at about 160 to stop the cream from splitting.

this is true
I actually used soya milk, as this was all that was available at home (mrs is mildly dairy intolerant) and it worked cooked at a higher temp.

Before you scoff, soya milk actually cooks rather well in my experience, for things like batter.

no cream
because I didn't have any, worked just fine with milk, and chopped garlic and grated cheese over the top

That's not cheating.
That is using your initiative.

I remember the making of it being more involved when I last did it properly
