Passionfruit curd is one of those silky, sunshine-bright spreads that makes everything it touches taste a little more special — think toast, pavlova, yogurt, or straight off the spoon. The flavor is intensely tropical, floral, and tart all at once, with a richness from butter and egg yolks that gives it that luxurious, glossy texture you'd expect from a good lemon curd. Because this recipe is built entirely around fruit, eggs, butter, sugar, and salt, there's not a trace of wheat or grain in sight — no thickeners, no flour, no workarounds needed. The double-boiler method is the real secret here, gently coaxing the eggs into a smooth, stable curd without any risk of scrambling. Whisking constantly and pulling the bowl off the heat at the right moment gives you that perfect, spoonable consistency every time. Straining through a fine-mesh sieve keeps things velvety smooth, though leaving the seeds in adds a lovely rustic texture if that's your style. Make a jar on the weekend and you'll find yourself reaching for it all week long.

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.
