1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to a rectangle about 8 by 12-inches.
3
Fold the edges of the long sides over about 1 1/2-inches to make an edge on the tart.

Score the edges lightly with a small knife, being careful not to cut all the way through the dough.

Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6
In a small bowl, mash the goat cheese with the honey.
7
Spread the cheese evenly across the pastry inside the scored border.
8
Arrange the pears and blackberries decoratively across the top of the cheese.

Remove the tart from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool before serving.
11
In a bowl, whip together the cream and sour cream.

Add the sugar and whip until soft peaks just start to form.

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

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
