The cheesecake is beloved because it has a mild and sweet taste without being overwhelming. Which is why it is suitably paired for fruits with strong flavors or nuts with strong nutty flavor. But another unexpected pairing for cheesecake is honey and lemon, as it adds freshness and sweetness to the cake.
