Best Answer

When you add flour to a cheesecake recipe or see a recipe that calls for flour, the purpose is to adjust the texture and the way the cheesecake is baked.

When there is flour or another starch present in a cheesecake it makes the texture denser and more cake-like.

When there isn't a starch present in a cheesecake, this is the kind of recipe where usually it calls for a spring form pan, a water bath and lower temperature and this often will result in a smooth and creamy texture.

Can you use flour instead of cornstarch in cheesecake?

No. Cornstarch is a thickening agent as where flour is used to create some type of dough or batter and when it is baked the gluten allows it to expand and get nice and fluffy. Simply put, if you swapped flour for cornstarch, especially for a cheesecake, you would have a nasty mess and a very uneasy cheesecake. Hope that helps

The function of cream cheese is to add structure to the product.

Additionally the cheese adds a unique texture and flavor.
