“Udderly delicious”

Hi Strands fans. I doubt this one will trip up many players, excluding some vegans who aren't familiar with dairy products. As is often the case with themes based on puns, "Udderly delicious" is pretty clear from the get-go.

So I immediately found MILK in the top-right corner, followed by BUTTER in the bottom right. Filling the gap between the two was CHEESE, and the spangram - DAIRYPRODUCTS - neatly ran alongside all three of them from bottom to top.

Three answers were still outstanding. I located YOGURT in the middle of the left-hand side, followed by CUSTARD below it. That just left GELATO in the top-left corner to complete a pretty straightforward puzzle.
