Substituting full fat yogurt for sour cream

I do not generally keep sour cream in my refrigerator, but I always have plain yogurt. My current favorite is Stoltzfus. It is high protein, with that lovely layer of cream at the top. I also keep Fage in my fridge almost all the time. (Which is made here in Fulton County, New York)

So can I exchange either of these for sour cream in recipes, especially your one crust pie recipe?

    Hi Diana - As long as the fat content of the yogurt is similar to the sour cream, you can definitely substitute. I probably wouldn't substitute nonfat yogurt, though, since it lacks any fat and often has stabilizers added that might behave differently in a recipe. Good luck! Best, Lynn C.
