Can you make cream out of milk if so how?

Question

like my idea i really wanna c if i can make whip cream/cream was gonna be to boil milk till it is kinda thick then whip it in the blender for a really long time is that realistic?

Answer 1

Cream out of milk is very difficult, especially with store bought milk.

Heavy cream is about 36% dairy fat while whole milk is 3.25% dairy fat.

Also, whole milk is homogeniezed where the fats globs are broken down very small where the fat won't recombine naturally.

You might be able to separate the cream out of whole milk by running through a centerfuge, but you'll only get 3.25% cream, so in a cup of whole milk you'll get about 1.5 teaspoons of cream.

If you have your own cow or fresh, raw milk, what they did in the "good old" days was to milk the cow and let the milk sit. The cream (being a fat/oil) will rise to the top.

Currently, in the big dairy houses, the milk is run through a centrifuge to seperate the cream from the milk.

Answer 2

Fresh cow's milk, in a bottle, set overnight will have the fat cream floated to the top. Bear in mind, milk products should be pasteurized.

edit:============
No, boiling milk is unrealistic. It burns easily. If you want something whipped, try some of those powder mixes that make low-cal whipped topping using an electric cake mixer for 3 minutes.

Answer 3

That used to be trivial in the days before milk was homogenized for sale. Without the stirring up of homogenization the milk separated all by itself into the fatty cream and the watery skim milk. Now it is impractical to get the milk back into those components (probably would need a centrifuge to break it apart).

Answer 4

I don't think you can get cream from store-bought milk, because store-bought milk is homogenized, which means the cream doesn't separate easily.

At the dairy, cream definitely comes from milk, though. They take out the cream and sell the leftover milk as 2%, 1%, or skim. Every dairy product starts as milk.

Answer 5

Cream out of milk???No.Milk is cream just toned down with water and other stuff.You can buy cream at any grocery store though.If you mean ice cream then yes!There are a bunch of ice cream recipes on the net. I dont no them by heart but just search"homemade ice cream recipes" on google and you'll get some good stuff.

Answer 6

You personally cannot, unless you have raw milk to get the fat from. Any of the milk that is in a store would not have enough left to make it from. Sorry!
