a more tart taste
Improved answer:
Not really. It doesn't really make much of a difference; but I actually use plain yogurt instead of sour cream. Also, plain yogurt would be better for you, for your health. Taste-wise, though, I think there's hardly a difference, unless your very sensitive in that way.
Yes, but make sure it is plain yogurt, and that you mix it with a little milk to make it less dense.
You can use Sour Cream of Mayonnaise as a substitute of yogurt.
Yogurt.
Yes, if you want to.
Greek yogurt!
plain yogurt with a little vanilla, or sour cream with a little sugar and vanilla.
Ice cream will melt faster than yogurt, as yogurt does not melt.
No. I tried that, it turned out terrible.
I really depends what you're using it for. For dips, I swap back and forth all the timeFor baking: 1 cup yogurt plus 1 teaspoon baking soda. (I looked on various sites all said the same thing)
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!
Frozen yogurt. It is frozen unlike ice cream, so it will take longer for it to melt.
Frozen Yogurt and Ice Cream are 2 totally different things. What it basically comes down to is that ice cream is way more fattening and has no yogurt at all in it. Frozen Yogurt is literally just yogurt that's frozen.
