Why do we use cornstarch for cheesecake? 🤔

[Coco]

Hiya, bakers! I've been wondering, why does cheesecake need cornstarch? In many recipes I've come across, cornstarch is listed among ingredients, seemingly crucial. I get that baking is both art and science, but I'm curious about this specific addition. Does it contribute to the cheesecake's texture, or is there another reason?

Cheesecake needs cornstarch for texture. It helps make it smooth and prevent cracks. You should try it... .
