Bright, floral, and almost 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 held directly over 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. With just six clean ingredients — fresh passionfruit pulp, sugar, eggs, butter, and a pinch of salt — there's nothing hidden here, which makes it a genuinely stress-free option for anyone navigating sesame allergies or sensitivities. Store-bought curds and fruit spreads can be surprisingly tricky territory, with shared production lines and ingredient lists that require a magnifying glass, so making your own is a real win. The straining step is optional but recommended if you want an ultra-smooth finish; leaving the seeds in adds a pleasant, slightly crunchy texture that feels rustic and homemade in the best way. Once it sets in the fridge, you'll have a vibrant, tangy-sweet curd that keeps beautifully and tastes like pure sunshine.

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.
