This works for dips and non-cooked items. If the sauce is to be frozen or cooked, the yogurt will break. If it is used in baking, it has less fat, and may or may not affect the recipe.

You can substitute natural yogurt for sour cream in most recipes with good results and the advantage that the final product will be lower in calories because it has less fat. But many commercial yogurts are thickened with cornstarch or Gelatin instead of being naturally cultured. These yogurts might not work in your recipe.

Plain cream is not a good substitute for sour cream because it does not have either the thick consistency or the acidity of sour cream. In a pinch, you might be able to "sour" plain cream by adding a Tbs or two of vinegar or lemon juice.

You can, just keep in mind that sour cream has about six times the fat of yogurt. If that doesn't bother you than go ahead!
