I narrowed in on a recipe of Heavy cream (may not be as heavy as what
you have), half-n-half and milk.

3C sugar
4C heavy cream
2C Half-n-half
3C milk
2TB lemon juice
1TB vanilla extract

We added a TB of a baking coffee spice to it with good effect.

Charlotte got an impulse purchase of a canned whip-cream that was
peanut butter and topped it a bit with that. LOVELY!
