Is there an appropriate substitute for the heavy cream?
I (genetically) can't consume that much animal fat.

This may sound like a wild idea, but I’m suggesting avocado instead of the cream. (I’ve used it successfully as a replacement for heavy cream in other recipes.)
Be careful to avoid heating the dish after adding the avocado & maybe alter the sequence of the recipe to make that happen.
If you also want to replace the Parmesan, have a look at a hard vegan cheese.
Both the cashew cream and the avocado would probably work well here.
One thing I forgot to say is that when used as an ingredient, the avocado does not leave a distinct taste - rather it gives mouth feel and texture, and blends in with the other ingredients.
