While the traditional malva pudding recipe uses heavy cream, you can still make it without cream. Simply use your favourite brand of condensed milk, evaporated milk (such as ideal milk which is known by most South Africans), or regular milk in place of the heavy cream. Useful tip: be careful not to confuse evaporated milk with condensed milk. Both of these are shelf-stable milk products made by heating milk until at least 60 percent of their water content has evaporated. The main difference between the two is that condensed milk is sweetened while evaporated milk is not. This means you need to adjust the amount of sugar you use, if you choose to use sweetened condensed milk.
