Tangy, silky, and intensely tropical, this passionfruit curd is the kind of thing you'll want to spread on absolutely everything — toast, scones, pavlova, or eaten straight from the jar with a spoon. The double hit of whole eggs and egg yolks gives it a rich, custardy body, while the butter whisked in at the end makes it glossy and impossibly smooth. Cooking it low and slow over a double boiler is the real secret here, keeping the eggs from scrambling and building that perfect, spoonable consistency. The recipe calls for fresh passionfruit pulp, which delivers a brightness and depth that no store-bought version can match. Every ingredient in this curd is naturally free from lupin — no flour, no legume-based thickeners, no fillers — just fruit, eggs, sugar, butter, and salt doing exactly what they're supposed to do. Whether you strain out the seeds for a silky finish or leave them in for a little texture, the result is a vibrant, jewel-toned curd that looks as stunning as it tastes.

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.
