Question 1

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHEESECAKE AND BAKED CHEESECAKE?

Accepted Answer

A no-bake cheesecake will not have any eggs and will be a light and fluffy filling. For a baked cheesecake, there will be a lot of eggs and heavier ingredients, creating a dense filling.

Question 2

WHY DO YOU PUT SOUR CREAM IN CHEESECAKE?

Accepted Answer

Sour cream is essential to the texture of a cheesecake. I always use full-fat sour cream when I make cheesecake, which adds to its smooth consistency and signature dense filling.

Question 3

HOW TO SUBSTITUTE SOUR CREAM FOR CREAM CHEESE IN CHEESECAKE?

Accepted Answer

If you don’t want to use or don’t have cream cheese, you can use an equal amount of sour cream in place of the cream cheese in your cheesecake. The bake time will likely vary a bit, so be sure to pay attention to the internal temperature of your cheesecake. Be sure you are using full fat sour cream and choose a brand with a thick consistency. While you can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream in this peach cheesecake recipe, I would not substitute Greek yogurt for the cream cheese.
