Bake the pastry for 15 to 20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Let cool completely, then using the back of a fork, press the inside rectangle down to flatten it, leaving the edges tall to form a crust.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, cream, 1½ teaspoons of the sugar, vanilla, lemon zest and a pinch of nutmeg. Add the berries and stir until well coated.

Transfer the berries to the cooked pastry shell and spread evenly.

Sprinkle the berries with the remaining sugar. Place an oven rack 5 inches from the top and heat the oven to broil.
