Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 3 tbsp granulated sugar, and 7 tbsp cold cubed unsalted butter. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, blend until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Step 2: Gradually add 3 tbsp cold water, stirring until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press dough into the pan evenly and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 15 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Remove and let cool.
  4. Step 4: In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tbsp lemon zest, and 1 tbsp lemon juice until smooth and tangy.
  5. Step 5: Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the cooled tart shell. Arrange 1 cup pitted halved fresh sour cherries on top decoratively.
  6. Step 6: Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to set the filling and enhance flavors.
