Bright, floral, and almost impossibly silky, passionfruit curd is one of those fridge staples that makes everything it touches taste more special. The ingredient list is refreshingly short — just fresh passionfruit pulp, sugar, eggs, butter, and a pinch of salt — and every single one of them is naturally free of gluten, no substitutions required. That makes this a genuinely worry-free recipe rather than an adapted one, which means the texture and flavor are exactly as good as they should be. The double-boiler method keeps the eggs from scrambling and coaxes the curd into a thick, glossy consistency that sets beautifully in the fridge. A fine-mesh strainer at the end gives you that ultra-smooth, spoonable result, though you can leave the seeds in if you want a little extra texture and visual drama. Spoon it over yogurt, swirl it into whipped cream, or spread it straight onto a gluten-free cracker — honestly, a spoon straight from the jar is hard to argue with too.

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.
