Bright, tangy, and impossibly silky, this passionfruit curd is the kind of thing you'll want to spread on absolutely everything — toast, scones, tart shells, or a spoon straight from the jar. The double-boiler method keeps the eggs from scrambling, and whisking in cold butter cubes at the end gives the finished curd that glossy, luxurious texture you'd expect from a professional pastry kitchen. Fresh passionfruit pulp is the star here, delivering a floral, tropical punch that no store-bought spread can really replicate. Because the ingredient list is so clean and straightforward — eggs, butter, sugar, salt, and fruit — there's nothing hidden to worry about, making it a genuinely fuss-free option for anyone navigating specific dietary needs. Straining the finished curd through a fine-mesh sieve keeps it perfectly smooth, though leaving the seeds in adds a lovely rustic texture if that's your preference. Once it's chilled and set, you'll have 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.
