This is a phenomenal dessert! The texture is perfect, there's just the right amount of sugar, and I really like the combination of goat cheese and berries. I made a couple of substitutions: I only used 5 oz. of chevre, replacing the rest with cream cheese (I was afraid the goat cheese would be a little too pronounced) and I used light sour cream. The only thing I will do differently next time is to use more berries. Thank you so much for this recipe!

I took this to a party and got incredible reviews. I did use a store-bought piecrust and cooked it in a straight-sided tart pan.

Absolutely delectable. We had to leave ours in the oven for an extra 5 minutes. We used light sour cream and Egg Beaters for the eggs. We also used Splenda instead of sugar because we have someone with diabetes in the house. This may the best dessert I've ever had. Thank you for posting it!
