Tangy, silky, and bursting with tropical flavor, this passionfruit curd is the kind of thing you'll want to spread on absolutely everything. The double-boiler method keeps the eggs from scrambling, giving you a luxuriously smooth texture that sets up beautifully in the fridge. Fresh passionfruit pulp brings a bright, floral acidity that gets balanced out by butter, sugar, and a pinch of sea salt — it's simple chemistry that produces something that tastes genuinely special. Tree nut allergies can make store-bought curds and spreads a minefield, since many are produced in facilities handling a wide range of nuts, but this one is made entirely from scratch with ingredients you can verify yourself. Every component here — eggs, butter, sugar, salt, and fresh fruit — is naturally free from hazelnuts, so there's no guesswork involved. Strain it for a glossy, spoonable curd or leave the seeds in for a little rustic texture; either way, it's stunning on toast, stirred into yogurt, or dolloped onto a pavlova.

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.
