No, milk cannot be used as a substitute for heavy cream when making whipped cream. Milk does not have enough fat to whip up into a topping.
If whipped cream is too high calorie for you, there are some alternatives. Meringue is made with egg whites and sugar, and a very nice whipped topping can be made from nonfat dry milk. See the links below for how to.
Answer
No. Regular milk, including low fat, 2% or skim, will foam or froth up, but it will not whip and stay fluffy as whipping cream will do. It is not a suitable substitute for whipped cream.

∙ 16y agoNo. Milk will not fluff up when whipped. If you are using it for a sauce, milk will not thicken like whipping cream will.

∙ 13y agoIf it's a cake ingredient, maybe. If you actually want a creamy sauce like wipped cream, you can't achieve this with butter and milk. You'd be better off making a creme patisserie.

Can whipping cream be used as a substitute for light cream?
You can do anything you like in cooking. However, this particular substitution is not ideal. Whipping cream is a heavy cream, not a light cream. A mixture of whipping cream and milk would be a better substitution.
What can you substitute for whipping cream?
If you are planning on WHIPPING the cream, say to make whipping cream for a dessert, there really isn't a substitute you could make at home. There are of course commercial substitutes that are made with oil, but you're far better off using the real thing. You also shouldn't substitute for cream when baking, because the ratios in baking for flour, fats, proteins, leavening agents and the like are temperamental, and its best not to tamper with them unless you know what you are doing. If you have a cooking recipe that calls for heavy cream, however, such as for a cream soup, or adding to a sauce, you can substitute either milk, half and half or light cream, and just add a few tablespoons of butter. I believe the ratio is three tablespoons of butter to each cup of milk to approximate heavy cream, if you are using light cream, you could probably reduce the butter to two tablespoons per cup.

Can you use condensed milk instead of cream?
Yes you can! If you're like me and leave your condensed milk in the pantry at room temperature, then I would suggest chilling it in the freezer for at least 20 minutes beforehand (chilling the bowl is also a good idea). Condensed milk is also a great choice because it has less cholesterol than regular whipping cream.
