      Yes you can use this for a cheesecake topping. If you find it too thin, add more cornstarch to thicken. I'm sorry your butter is separating from the other ingredients. There are some things you can do. Try to heat the water and add butter slowly, whisking it in and, essentially, emulsifying the butter and water. It shouldn't separate after that.

    I slightly altered the recipe by one more spoonful of corn starch making it a tad bit thicker and have done the unheard of, brace yourself, I used it as the liquid in my apple pie, omg my kitchen hasn't smelled so good for so long I simply had to open the window to tease the neighbor with the aroma.

      Great idea! I love that this worked so well for you and I hope your neighbor came begging for a slice of apple pie!
