I am making a New York cheesecake for a party where a guest is allergic to sour cream. Can I substitute yogurt?
 
Are you talking about the sour cream you put on top of the cheesecake or does your recipe call for sour cream in the batter? If its just on top, leave it off, if its in the batter then yes, you can sub the yogurt. I have a recipe that doesn't have sour cream in it. Everyone has always enjoyed it.
