Bring to simmer over medium heat; reduce heat and simmer gently, stirring often, for about 10 minutes or until mixture is glossy and thick. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice and butter. Let cool slightly. Gently stir remaining berries into saucepan. Spoon mixture into prepared crust; smooth top. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until set.
Pie can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 8 hours.
Topping: spoon yogurt into paper towel-lined sieve set over bowl. Let drain in refrigerator for 4 hours or until yogurt measures 3/4 cup. Whip cream; stir one-quarter into yogurt. Fold in remaining cream. Spoon over berries.
