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).
Well first of all you can add cream cheese instead of sour cream. They are both the same kinds of cheese! So just figure out how much oz of cream cheese equal a 2/3 of a cup and use that.
No, you don't You can also use sour cream or cottage cheese also.
you use cream cheese not regular cheese
Yes but think about the differences in texture and taste. By using cream cheese you would also want to cut it with something sour for flavor and thin for texture. Nonfat plan yogurt works perfectly. Plus if you use low fat cream cheese you will be cutting calories too.
Awesome Cheese Master a.k.a. Kypsta: It really depends. If you are having a really fancy party or having your boss over you should probably get a nice cheese so in this case you would probably need the Mascarpone cheese. If you were having a regular dinner you would just use cream cheese because good cheese is expensive and if you already have cream cheese then you should just use it. If you are making a recipe you should try and get some Mascarpone cheese because usein cream cheese might ruin the recipe. In this situation, if you have enough materials, you might make two of the recipe and make 1 with Mascarpone cheese and 1 with cream cheese. Here is a suggested substitute for Mascarpone which I use and it is hard to tell the difference: (8 ounce) package cream cheese * 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, * 2 1/2 tablespoons sour cream Do NOT use low or non fat versions.
Yogurt.
yes you can use soft cream cheese for baking.
Creme fraiche is a form of sour cream made using French cooking techniques. You can make it yourself by mixing room temp or slightly warm (not hot) fresh heavy cream (2 cups) with a little buttermilk (3 Tbsp), also room temp, in a glass jar, cover it and leave it in a warmish room temperature place for 24 hours (on top of the refrigerator is the best place for this). Stir every six hours or so. Stir once more and put in the refrigerator for another 24 hours and you will have some wonderful (better than sour cream) stuff!Otherwise, it depends on what you are making. Some recipes can use plain yogurt or cottage cheese blended until smooth or ricotta cheese. If you are using it at the table on a baked potato, for example, you can use the yogurt, ricotta, or cottage cheese.You can make yogurt cheese by placing plain yogurt in cheese cloth and let it drip until the watery liquids drain out (8 or so hours), leaving a wonderful soft yogurt cheese that is very much like sour cream.For baking, substitutions aren't always successful.It mostly depends on what you are making that needs sour cream. But, if my sour cream has gone bad or I don't have any I replace it with ranch dressing or french onion dip or I just do without it!
