How to Turn Milk Into Whipped Cream

This recipe transforms cold full-fat milk into a voluminous whipped cream substitute using powdered gelatin to stabilize it. The mixture thickens in the fridge before whisking, resulting in a light, fluffy cream with a subtle sweetness from confectioners sugar, suitable for topping desserts when dairy cream is unavailable.

Course: Condiments
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup milk full fat, cold, 2oz / 60g
  • 2 teaspoons powdered gelatin unflavoured, 1 sachet; or agar agar
  • 1 cup milk full fat, cold, 8oz / 240g
  • 2 tablespoon confectioners sugar

Notes

  • Use cold full-fat milk for better whipping volume.
  • If the cream becomes runny or grainy while whipping, chill it again until it thickens and then continue whipping.
