Passionfruit curd is one of those silky, intensely flavored spreads that feels genuinely luxurious — floral, tropical, and rich in a way that's hard to describe until you've tasted it. Most fruit curds lean heavily on lemon or lime, which makes this version a real find for anyone who needs to steer clear of citrus entirely. The star here is fresh passionfruit pulp, which brings its own bright, complex tang without a drop of lemon juice or zest anywhere in the recipe. Eggs and egg yolks give the curd its velvety body, while butter whisked in at the end makes it glossy and impossibly smooth. The double-boiler method keeps everything gentle so the eggs cook low and slow — no scrambling, no curdling, just a perfectly set, spoonable result. Once it's chilled and set, you can swirl it onto toast, dollop it over yogurt, layer it into a cake, or honestly just eat it by the spoonful straight from the jar.

Fill a medium saucepan with about 2 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Set a heatproof bowl over the saucepan, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
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.
