hate sour cream, but can I still make a good cheesecake?

Question

My daughter gags at the smell of sour cream and I want to make her a cheesecake. I made Alton Brown's which the family enjoyed and didn't mention the sour cream but she tasted it. Please, does someone have a recipe for her.

Answer 1

i made a fantastic cheesecake in my magic bullet!! i used a block of cream cheese, splenda (for grandpa), lemon juice and zest, vanilla bean and eggs. whipped it up and it was fabulous. i made them bite sized..big mistake, we ate them like cookies.

if you're interested in the measurements and method, email me.

Answer 2

I've never heard of cheesecake made with sour cream. All my recipes for cheesecake have Cream Cheese(like Philladelphia) found where butter is in supermarket.

Answer 3

I don't like sour cream either so I've made all my cheesecakes using cream cheese instead. Here's the recipe I use:
