For topping on ice cream and pie, the fat in heavy whipping cream provides its firm structure. But going lean isn't impossible, it just depends on what you want the cream for...
If you are talking about whipping cream in a savory-type recipe, you can substitute 0% Greek yogurt or fat free sour cream for cream in most recipes, although you may need to add a little bit of water to account for the reduction in liquid.
In liquid form, for sweet cream, you can try fat-free half and half.
In the grocery store, Reddi Whip (and possibly other brands) have a spray-type whipped cream in fat free variety.
And lastly, if it must be homemade whipped cream, try this...
Put the bowl and beaters of your mixer in the freezer for 20-30 minutes beforehand (you can put the milk in the freezer as well... the colder the better, but not frozen.) Remove and add...
1 cup fat-free evaporated milk
1-2 tsp vanilla
1/4-1/2 cup powdered sugar
... and whip like crazy.
Note: Serve immediately. This recipe does not hold up well for a long time due to the absence of fat. It won't hold up at all on top of heated foods, so forget using this recipe on a hot apple crisp.

How can you make whipped cream healthy?
to not add cream or suger to it... .......................................................... Whipped cream is almost entirely fat. So if one considers fat "unhealthy," then it is not possible to "make whipped cream healthy." However, a certain amount of fat is necessary in healthy diets. A number of vitamins are not water soluble and cannot be absorbed into the body without some fat in the diet. Fats are also necessary for other reasons, but because they are very calorie dense, one should not consume large amounts of any fat. Some fats, such as saturated fat from animal products, are more likely to contribute to heart disease; the fat in whipped cream is this type of fat. So one should enjoy whipped cream in small quantities, which is how it is generally used in cooking - as a garnish. Adding sugar to whipped cream makes it sweet and delicious, but adds more calories to a food that is already calorie dense. Again, sweetened whipped cream is a treat that should be enjoyed in small amounts on special occasions.

AnswerNo, milk cannot be used as a substitute for heavy cream when making whipped cream.
