| The answer is no. You cannot "make" whipping cream unless you own a dairy cow. I normally purchase the 36% fat whipping cream at the store. |

| I agree. 3.25% is the natural fat content of milk as it comes from the cow. Any dairy that is higher or lower is so by industrial processe. Not to say a person at home cannot do it (as home dairy farmers making cheese have done so for centuries) it needs to begin with un-processed milk (IE, not homogenised. This will explain homogenization, and the "how" of getting more cream is self apperent. http://www.foodsci.uoguelph.ca/dairy...nization.html). You can achive 35% fat dairy product by adding butter to milk in the right proportions, however, that works only for a few applications, and not for making whipping cream. You can also purchase a cappachino milk frother, which is essentially a little motor, 2 batteries, and a spring on a metal shaft (usually under 3 bucks, and I think a buck at dollarama), that will "froth" milk up to look like whipped cream without all the fat and calories.

| I understood (maybe misunderstood) her question differently-- You can, of course, just take some heavy cream and whip it--either with an electric mixer or a whisk--just don't forget to add a little sugar! G |

| Okay, it's just Kuan's puckish sense of humor!!! Yes, you can make your own whipped cream at home. Just don't overwhip it or you'll have butter . ![]()
