Bright, tangy, and silky smooth, this passionfruit curd is the kind of thing you'll want to spoon straight from the jar. The ingredient list is refreshingly short — just fresh fruit pulp, eggs, butter, sugar, and salt — which means no hidden additives, emulsifiers, or preservatives that can quietly irritate a sensitive gut. The double-boiler method keeps the heat gentle and controlled, protecting the eggs from scrambling and giving you a beautifully cohesive curd every single time. Whisking in cold butter gradually at the end creates that glossy, luscious texture without any dairy-heavy shortcuts. Straining through a fine-mesh sieve keeps the final product ultra-smooth, though leaving the seeds in adds a pleasant natural texture if your digestion handles them well. Spread it on toast, swirl it into yogurt, or dollop it over a simple cake — it's versatile enough to work into almost any meal without overcomplicating things. Clean ingredients and careful technique make this one of those recipes that feels indulgent while still being genuinely kind to your body.

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.
