Why do cherries and cheesecake go hand in hand? Every cliché has roots in true flavor pairing. The smooth, rich, slightly bland, vanilla-scented flavor of the cheesecake can be nicely balanced by sweet, meaty cherries with their subtle tang. We’re talking fresh cherries, not the fluorescent cherry topping so ubiquitous in a certain style of restaurant. Frankly, they just taste good together, each subtly enhancing the other. We have enjoyed lightening cheesecake in the style of our blown-up brie, and paired with cherries, the texture is pure dynamite.
