Does anyone have a solution for recipes that call for sour cream?

Tofutti makes a sour cream alternative. Whole Foods carries it as well as Wegmans. Look in their dairy section! Good luck!

I have been using Tofutti better than Sour Cream. It's non dairy and tastes pretty close to dairy sour cream.

Heidi, Looks like we were posting at the same time. Glad to hear that someone else is using the Tofutti.

Yeah...I don't think it's the same as sour cream on its own, but used in recipes and in combination with other stuff, it's pretty much the same!
