no, it will become very hard and will taste like spoiled milked once defrosted
You can substitute ricotta cheese for cottage cheese. I don't think it would work with cream cheese.
No. Plain yogurt is a good substitute for sour cream. A substitute for ricotta cheese is cottage cheese that has been drained of excess water (use cheese cloth or seive).
The cheese cake will freeze, however the cream cheese frosting will not.
Milk & slice / bulk cheese freezes well, sour cream doesn't. The first two are fine taste & consistency-wise, sour cream was way off on both bases. IMHO I wouldn't think ricotta / cottage cheese would freeze well bc of this. Looks like its time to make lasagna for you!
Yes but cream cheese would be better.
Cream cheese will separate when defrosted.
Low fat cream cheese, or low fat Greek yogurt would normally make ideal substitutes for cottage cheese in the diet. (Since cottage cheese is low fat, the substitutes must also be low-fat versions).
full fat ricotta or cream cheese does the job.
I would say no. Mascarpone is sweet and creamy whereas ricotta is drier and bland. I would recommend you use a cream cheese (like Philadelphia) instead. You can use 8oz of Cream Cheese, 1/4 cup of Heavy whipping cream and 2 1/2 tbsp of Sour Cream and whip it together... This is VERY similar...! Just don't substitute anything in this mixture, and you should be set! Ricotta cheese is similar to cottage cheese. They can be substituted. It is also easy to make ricotta; whole milk, heavy cream, salt and white vinegar. dairy curdles. Mascarpone is similar to cream cheese just sweeter. It is used in desserts, where as the cream cheese usage would require more sugar.
Not well.
hmmm, you could try using an equal measurement of ricotta cheese or sour cream.
Id depends on what your intended use is for the ricotta as to whether cream cheese may be substituted. In general i would say no because the two cheese while both being soft and white are very different in their textures and uses in food preparation and cooking. sometimes mascarpone and cream cheese are interchangeable but i would insist on using ricotta when a recipe requires it.
