2. Whisk cream cheese, lemon curd, and sour cream in medium bowl until smooth.

3. Scatter berries in 1-quart broilersafe gratin dish or tart pan. Spoon cream mixture over berries and gently spread so that mixture covers berries completely. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over surface, place in oven, and broil until sugar is bubbly and caramelized, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve warm.
