Need pareve sub for sour cream

Platinum Member Joined: Sep 11 2004 Posts: 19241

I'm trying to make a pareve spinach pie (experimenting). What can I use in place of sour cream? Mayonnaise? Is that gross?

(Alternatively, if anyone has a recipe, please post.)

Thanks in advance!

I know they have pareve sour cream. I think it's made by tofutti.

If you're looking to make a kind of creamy spinach pie, you might want to try the Spice and Spirit Creamy Broccoli Kugel recipe and use spinach instead of the broccoli.

I know about the pareve sour cream but I don't want to buy it. Smile

Thank you, Defy! For some reason I thought I could do that but wasn't sure it would work. I'll try that.

I just want to be clear - I've never done it before, but I think it would be delicious.

How much frozen spinach do I sub for 1 bunch fresh broccoli? Scratching Head

I usually use one 16 oz bag of frozen broccoli, so I'd imagine that 16 oz of spinach would be fine.

Oh, good. I have just about that. Smile

Now let's see if my kids will eat it.

Thanks so much, Defy.

I'd use mayo but I wouldn't tell my family.

I decided to save it for a different day, in the end. Confused

Still don't know what's for dinner here. Evil or Very Mad

I was just reading a cookbook (The New Cake Mix Doctor) and IIRC she says that sour cream, buttermilk, and yogurt are usually interchangeable. You can make pareve buttermilk by taking a cup of milk substitute (I usually use soy), adding lemon juice (a Tbsp? not sure), and letting it sit for ten minutes.

I don't want to waste your ingredients though, just mentioning this for you to look into another time.
