1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the butter and graham crackers in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground and the mixture holds together when pinched.

Let cool completely.

Combine 1/3 cup of the sugar, the sour cream and cream cheese in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large bowl if using a hand mixer), beat until smooth.
7
Add the lemon zest, vanilla and eggs, and continue to beat until incorporated.
8
Pour into the cooled tart shell and bake on a baking sheet until set, 25 to 30 minutes.

Cool to room temperature and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour up to overnight.

Spoon the berries and collected juice over the tart.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
