FAQ
Q: Can I use low-fat or skim milk?
A: Whole milk works best due to its fat content, which helps the cream hold its structure. Low-fat milk may not whip as effectively.
Q: Is powdered milk necessary?
A: It’s optional but helps achieve a thicker, creamier consistency naturally.
Q: Can this be sweetened naturally?
A: Yes! You can fold in a small amount of honey or maple syrup to taste.
