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 hit of whole eggs and egg yolks gives it an incredibly rich, custard-like body, while fresh passionfruit pulp delivers that signature floral tartness that no other fruit can quite replicate. Butter is whisked in gradually off the heat, creating a glossy, luscious texture that sets up beautifully in the fridge. The double-boiler method keeps the heat gentle and controlled, so you get a smooth, velvety result without any scrambled egg disasters. Many store-bought curds and flavored spreads sneak in warming spices that can be a real problem for those avoiding certain aromatics — here, every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify. Strain it for a sleek, pourable finish or leave the seeds in for a little rustic texture; either way, it's stunning spooned over yogurt, layered into a tart, or simply eaten off a spoon.

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.
