Can you substitute flour for cornstarch in cheesecake?

Yes, you can substitute flour for cornstarch in cheesecake, but it may slightly alter the texture. Cornstarch is used as a thickener and can create a creamier, smoother consistency, while flour can make the cheesecake denser. If you choose to use flour, use about twice the amount of cornstarch called for and ensure it is well combined to avoid a gritty texture.
