 calories/ 8 oz. Mock sour cream I: combine in blender
 2 cups cottage cheese and 1/3 cup buttermilk. Mock

 lemon juice, 1/2 cup skim milk. Blender. Mock sour
 cream III: 2 c. dry curd cottage cheese, 1 cup plain
 yogurt. Blender. Mock sour cream IV: put plain low-fat
 yogurt in a paper coffee filter cone and allow it to
 drain in the refrigerator for several hours until it
 reaches the right thickness. Mock sour cream V:
 combine 1 cup sour half & half and 1 cup plain low-fat
 yogurt.  Blend. Cream cheese base I: combine 1
 softened 3 oz. pkg. cream cheese with 1 cup part-skim
 ricotta cheese. Blender. Cream cheese base II: combine
 1 (8 oz.) pkg. neufchatel cheese with skim milk in
 covered blender. Cream cheese base III: combine 8

 these products may be as fattening and
 cholesterol-dangerous as the real thing. Source: Magic
