#Gather your ingredients. Making whipped cream from milk is easy, but you do need to have some special ingredients and tools before you begin. You will need:<ref name="rf9242">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C63dz2JlA9g</ref>

#Mix water and gelatin in your saucepan. Measure and pour ¼ cup of water into your saucepan. Then, measure and add 10 grams of gelatin to the pan. Don’t turn on the heat. Just let the gelatin and water sit in the pan for about 10 minutes, so that the gelatin can absorb some of the water.<ref name="rf9242" />{{Imagecaptiontop | Mix water and gelatin in your saucepan | hidden=true}}

#Turn on the heat and stir. After 10 minutes, turn the heat to medium, and then start stirring the gelatin and water. Stir the gelatin and water over the heat until the gelatin dissolves and the mixture looks uniform.<ref name="rf9242" />{{Imagecaptiontop | Turn on the heat and stir | hidden=true}}

#Combine milk and gelatin in a large mixing bowl. While you are waiting for the gelatin and water mixture to cool, measure out one cup of milk and pour it into your large mixing bowl. When the gelatin and water have cooled, add them to the milk. Then, whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined.<ref name="rf9242" />{{Imagecaptiontop | Combine milk and gelatin in a large mixing bowl | hidden=true}}

#Add vanilla and powdered sugar. Next, measure out ½ tablespoon of vanilla and add it to the milk mixture. Then measure out ¼ cup of powdered sugar and add that to the milk mixture. Whisk the vanilla and powdered sugar in with the milk mixture until there are no lumps.<ref name="rf9242" />{{Imagecaptiontop | Add vanilla and powdered sugar | hidden=true}}

#Chill the cream mixture. After you have mixed the vanilla and powdered sugar in with the milk mixture, place it in the refrigerator and leave it to chill for about 1 to 1 ½ hours. Stir the mixture about once every 15 minutes to prevent the ingredients from separating.<ref name="rf9242" />{{Imagecaptiontop | Chill the cream mixture | hidden=true}}

#*Try chilling your beaters for the mixer as well. Chilling your beaters may help to speed up the mixing process and prevent separation.<ref name="rf9243">http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/articles/detail/twenty-ways-with-whipped-cream</ref>

#Use a hand mixer to whip the milk. When the ingredients are cool, begin mixing them with your hand mixer. Make sure that you go all around the edges of the bowl as you mix. Keep mixing the ingredients until they resemble whipped cream.<ref name="rf9242" />{{Imagecaptiontop | Use a hand mixer to whip the milk | hidden=true}}

#*Your whipped cream should begin to form soft peaks when it is ready.<ref name="rf9243" />

#Use a different kind of sweetener. Powdered sugar is ideal because it is easy to mix in with the cream. However, if you do not have powdered sugar or if you don’t want to use powdered sugar, then there are some alternatives. Keep in mind that you may have to adjust the amount that you use if the substitute you are using is sweeter than powdered sugar, such as stevia or another sugar substitute.<ref name="rf9243" />{{Imagecaptiontop | Use a different kind of sweetener | hidden=true}}

#*''Stevia and other sugar substitutes''. Use 1/4 teaspoon of stevia or other sugar substitute to replace the sugar.<ref name="rf9244"> http://www.stevia.net/conversion.html</ref>

#*''Honey''. Use ¼ cup of honey, minus one teaspoon. Also, use two tablespoons less milk than you normally would to make the whipped cream.<ref name="rf9245">http://dish.allrecipes.com/baking-with-sugar-and-sugar-substitutes/</ref>

#Fold in some nuts. Nuts make a nice easy addition as well. Try folding in ¼ cup of chopped nuts when you are almost ready to serve your whipped cream. Chopped pecans, walnuts, chopped macadamias, and almond slivers all make great additions.<ref name="rf9246">http://www.splendidtable.org/story/10-ways-to-flavor-whipped-cream</ref>{{Imagecaptionbottom | Fold in some nuts | hidden=true}}

#Give your whipped cream a jolt. Try adding a couple of tablespoons of espresso powder to your whipped cream before you whip it.  Measure out and add the espresso powder to your whipped cream right before you start mixing it with your hand mixer.<ref name="rf9246" />{{Imagecaptionbottom | Give your whipped cream a jolt | hidden=true}}

#Mix in two tablespoons of fresh herbs. Mint is a great choice if you want to keep your whipped cream tasting sweet, but you can also try other chopped herbs. For example, you could add in some fresh basil, lavender, or thyme for a somewhat savory whipped cream.<ref name="rf9246" />{{Imagecaptionbottom | Mix in two tablespoons of fresh herbs | hidden=true}}
