Can I use mayonnaise instead of sour cream in cheesecake?

[cloudy_00]

Hello guys. Just want to know if you ever tried swapping sour cream for mayonnaise. I wanted to bake cheesecake but ran out of sour cream, but have a lot of mayo stock in my fridge. I am just wondering if the taste or texture would be affected.

Would love to hear from anyone who's tried this swap before!

While it might change the flavor and texture a bit, you can give it a try! Just be aware that the taste might be different than usual.

Absolutely Yes! You can substitute mayonnaise for sour cream in cheesecake, but it may alter the flavor slightly.

you can try using mayonnaise instead of sour cream in cheesecake, but this might change the taste and texture a bit. Mayonnaise is tangier and thicker, so you might need to adjust the other ingredients to balance it out. But go ahead and experiment! I'm all for trying new things in the kitchen, especially when it comes to baking. Using mayonnaise instead of sour cream might give your cheesecake a unique twist.
