Tangy, silky, and bursting with tropical flavor, this passionfruit curd is the kind of thing you'll want to spoon onto absolutely everything. The double hit of whole eggs and egg yolks gives it an incredibly rich, velvety texture, while the butter whisked in at the end makes it glossy and luscious in a way that feels almost indulgent. A gentle double-boiler method keeps the eggs from scrambling and gives you full control over the thickening process — patience here is genuinely rewarded. The bright, floral tartness of fresh passionfruit cuts through the richness beautifully, landing somewhere between citrus curd and something entirely its own. You can strain out the seeds for a perfectly smooth finish or leave them in for a little rustic texture — either way, the result is stunning. Spread it on toast, swirl it into yogurt, dollop it onto pavlova, or eat it straight from the jar with a spoon — no judgment. Since every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free of celery in any form, this is one recipe where you can cook with complete confidence and zero label-checking stress.

Add the passionfruit pulp, sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and salt to the bowl. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth and uniform in color, about 1 minute.
