My cheesecake without sour cream...help please

[hobbgoblin]

I am making a NY cheesecake but didn't realise the recipe called for soured cream. You have to add 7fl oz at the end of beating the cheese part. Anything I could use instead (I have double cream and possibly a bit of creme fraiche I think - need to check it isn't past the date or moulding in back of fridge...)?

Am in ahurry as went on a too long dog walk with DC after school and have beef weelington to prep too plus DC dinner to do.

Frikkin valentine's.

I've had nice 'cheesecakes' made with yogurt, don't know if that would work mixed with cream (if you have any nat/greek yog even)

yep have some natural bio yogurt, forgot I had that (bought for raita that hasn't been made yet) I will dare to try that if no other contenders on the suggestion front :) thank you!

good luck - I've never actually tried this substitution myself btw!

Its also occurred to me that I think you might be able to turn your double cream into sour cream with lemon juice, google that as you might just end up with curdled cream...

Natural yog is the perfect substitute, If you can strain some of the excess liquid off it first even better.
