Did you know you can make fluffy, delicious whipped cream using just a glass of milk? No heavy cream needed! This simple kitchen trick is perfect when you want a quick dessert topping without buying extra ingredients.
Here’s the easiest way to turn regular milk into thick, creamy, whipped goodness in only 10 minutes.
⭐ What You’ll Need
- 1 glass of cold milk (full-fat works best)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (or honey)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch OR 1 tablespoon milk powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Ice + a large bowl
⭐ Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Chill Your Bowl
Place a large mixing bowl over a second bowl filled with ice.
Cold tools = faster whipping.
2. Heat the Milk Slightly
In a small pot:
- Add 1 glass of milk.
- Whisk in 1 tablespoon cornstarch (this thickens the milk).
- Heat over low heat until it becomes slightly thicker—don’t boil.
- Let it cool completely in the fridge.
(If using milk powder instead of cornstarch, no heating needed—just mix it into cold milk.)
3. Whip the Milk
Once the milk is cold:
- Pour it into your chilled bowl.
- Add sugar and vanilla.
- Whip with a hand mixer for 7–10 minutes until fluffy.
The milk thickens and turns into a light whipped cream texture.
⭐ Tips for Perfect Whipped Milk
- Use full-fat milk for best results.
- Make sure the milk is very cold before whipping.
- Don’t skip the cornstarch or milk powder — they help the milk thicken.
- Add more sugar for a sweeter cream.
