Do I have to use heavy Cream in this 5 Ingredient Instant Pot Mac and Cheese?

No, you can swap out the heavy cream for regular milk like whole milk as well as 2% milk. I just find that this Instant Pot Macaroni comes out way creamier when I use the heavy cream.

This recipe, as is has so much flavor, but if you want to add a little more, you can use chicken broth instead of water.
