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).
hmmm, you could try using an equal measurement of ricotta cheese or sour cream.
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!
Can be and is also substituted in lasgne. I'm not a fan of ricotta myself though
No, you don't You can also use sour cream or cottage cheese also.
no, it will become very hard and will taste like spoiled milked once defrosted
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.
Milk
Once goat cheese is sour you cannot "un-sour" it.
with cucumbers sour cream and cream cheese
Physicist Murray Gell-Mann coined the term "quark" for what was then referred to as a parton. The name is a literary reference to James Joyce's book Finnegans Wake: Three quarks for muster mark Quark is also a type of German cheese, kinda like pureed cottage cheese with a touch of sour cream added. Good substitute for cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, cream cheese, or sour cream in recipes. Makes excellent chip dip as is.
Leave it to get sour, it will then go solid - like cheese!
