Related to Sour Cream
Greek Yoghurt
Closest swap by texture. Greek yoghurt is strained thick like sour cream (260 g vs 250 g per cup) and brings a sharper tang with less fat. Works in cakes, dips, and dressings without adjustment. See our Greek Yoghurt converter.
Crème Fraîche
Crème fraîche is richer and more stable under heat with a milder tang. Best swap in cooked sauces, where sour cream tends to split. See our Crème Fraîche converter.
Plain Yoghurt
Plain yoghurt is thinner (258 g vs 250 g per cup) but tangs the same. Fine in cakes and dressings; not ideal for thick dips where sour cream holds its shape better. See our Plain Yoghurt converter.
Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise is mostly oil and egg with a milder tang and similar weight (230 g vs 250 g per cup). Swap 1:1 in slaws, dressings, and chocolate cake batters; expect a richer, less tangy result, so add a squeeze of lemon if you want the bite back. See our Mayonnaise converter.
Cream Cheese
Cream cheese is denser and milder than sour cream, with similar fat content but no live cultures to give the same tang. They are close in weight (230 g vs 250 g per cup), so swap 1:1 by volume in cake batters or frostings; expect a slightly richer, less tangy result with cream cheese. See what 1 ounce of cream cheese is in tablespoons.
Buttermilk
Buttermilk is a thin, pourable tangy liquid, while sour cream is thick and spoonable. To use sour cream in place of buttermilk, thin it with milk in a 3:1 ratio until pourable; flavour and acidity stay close. See our Buttermilk converter.
Heavy Cream
Heavy cream is uncultured, so it lacks the tang of sour cream though it shares a high fat content. They are close in weight (240 g vs 250 g per cup); stir 1 teaspoon of lemon juice into 1 cup of heavy cream to mimic the tang when swapping in dips or dressings. See what 1 ounce of heavy cream is in tablespoons.
