IKEA meatballs (some assembly required)

Last time we went to IKEA, i grabbed a bag of frozen meatballs and mashed potatoes, a packet of cream sauce and a jar of lingonberry jam with the thought of satisfying my craving for swedish meatballs without having to drive an hour or so and make up an excuse to buy furniture or home accessories.  And that's exactly what we had for lunch today.

Like all things IKEA, I followed the instructions, assembled them all together on a plate and voila! IKEA lunch right in my very own home.  My son loved it and i was thrilled that i can have as much jam as i want.  Lately we've noticed that IKEA only serves a teeny weeny serving of this jam (about 1 teaspoon) and my husband complains everytime 'coz he wanted more. 

For the cream sauce, the instruction was a bit vague as it says "add cream and contents of packet."  Cream? what cream? I thought it meant the cream sauce packet but why does it have to say cream AND contents of packet? hmmm... After looking it up (thanks google!) i figured it requires heavy cream but since i don't have one, i used whole milk.  No problem there, tasted just the same.
