Although there's nothing quite like real fromage frais, low fat (not non-fat) cream cheese or a smooth blend of cottage cheese and yogurt will work in some recipes.

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.

You Can Make A Low-Fat Cheesecake Recipe?
You might scoff at the idea of a low-fat cheesecake recipe, but it's possible. Find a recipe that uses low-fat cream cheese, ricotta and other components. You should also use egg whites instead of whole eggs. When the cheesecake is finished, you need not make it anymore fattening. Do not add that dollop of whipped cream to the side nor a scoop of ice cream. Share the cheesecake with friends so that you are not tempted to eat the entire thing by yourself, and you will truly have found success when it comes to a healthier cheesecake.
Rhubarb Fool?
Ingredients1 lb Fresh rhubarbJuice and rind of one Orange Sugar to taste 1 Sachet gelatineCream substitute of some Sort: yogurt, fromage frais, Evaporated milk, Whatever Stew the rhubarb with the orange rind/juice, sugar, and as little water as you can get away with. Melt in the gelatine (if you are vegetarian or vegan, use another gelling agent), and then put through food processor to make puree. Add the cream substitute - I would use fromage frais, but yogurt is fine, or you might like whisked evaporated milk, if you like the taste. Then refrigerate until set. If, like me, the mere thought of rhubarb sets your teeth on edge (it's one of the very few things I really can't eat!), then use a different fruit - gooseberries, perhaps, or dried apricots. Gooseberries are nicest if stewed with elderflowers, if you can get them, and dried apricots don't need any help. I've not quoted quantities for the sugar, because it depends on your taste.
