Tangy, silky, and bursting with tropical flavor, this passionfruit curd is the kind of thing you'll want to spoon onto absolutely everything. The vibrant pulp brings a floral, citrus-forward punch that's hard to replicate with any other fruit, and the double hit of whole eggs and yolks gives the finished curd an incredibly rich, velvety body. Many store-bought curds and fruit spreads sneak in gelatin or other setting agents to achieve that luscious texture, but this one gets there entirely through the natural emulsifying power of eggs and butter — no additives needed. The double-boiler method keeps the heat gentle and controlled, so the eggs cook slowly and evenly without scrambling, resulting in a smooth, glossy curd every single time. A final pass through a fine-mesh strainer catches any stray egg solids and leaves you with something that looks almost too pretty to eat. Spread it over toast, swirl it into yogurt, dollop it onto pavlova, or eat it straight from the jar — honestly, no judgment. Once you taste how bright and buttery this is, it's going to become a permanent fixture in your fridge.

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.
