Mock sour cream IV: put plain low-fat yogurt in a paper coffee filter cone and allow it to drain in the refrigerator for several hours until it reaches the right thickness. Mock sour cream V: combine 1 cup sour half & half and 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt. Blend. Cream cheese base I: combine 1 softened 3 oz. pkg. cream cheese with 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese. Blender.

AVOID most "nondairy" synthetic sour cream or cream cheese substitutes made with oil.
