Tangy, silky, and sunshine-bright, this passionfruit curd is one of those fridge staples that makes everything it touches taste more special. The tropical punch of fresh passionfruit pulp is balanced by rich butter and egg yolks, creating a spread that's intensely flavorful without being cloying. It comes together entirely on the stovetop using a simple double-boiler method — no fancy equipment needed, just a bowl, a saucepan, and a whisk. Constant whisking over gentle heat is the key to that glossy, spoonable texture, and the butter goes in at the end to give the curd its signature lusciousness. You can strain out the seeds for a perfectly smooth result or leave them in for a little rustic texture — either way, the flavor is knockout. Spoon it over yogurt, swirl it into whipped cream, layer it in a tart, or honestly just eat it straight from the jar. Every ingredient here is straightforward and animal-product-free of any poultry concerns, so it's a genuinely fuss-free recipe to shop for and make.

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.
