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, 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 real star here — its bright, floral acidity plays beautifully against the richness of the butter and yolks. The ingredient list is refreshingly short and straightforward: fruit, sugar, eggs, butter, and salt, with zero hidden fillers or nut-based additives to worry about. Whether you strain out the seeds for a perfectly smooth result or leave them in for a little extra texture, the curd sets up beautifully after just an hour in the fridge. Spoon it over yogurt, layer it into a tart shell, or simply eat it off a spoon — no judgment here.

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.
