Tangy, silky, and intensely tropical, this passionfruit curd is the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste more special. The double-boiler method is the real hero here — gently cooking the eggs and pulp over simmering water keeps the texture luxuriously smooth without any risk of scrambling. Whisking in cold butter cubes at the end gives the curd that glossy, spoonable consistency that's impossible to resist straight off the spoon. Because the recipe relies entirely on fruit, eggs, butter, sugar, and salt, there's nothing hidden to worry about — no leavening agents, no additives, just clean, whole ingredients. Straining through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a perfectly refined finish, though leaving the seeds in adds a lovely rustic texture if that's your style. Spread it on toast, swirl it into yogurt, dollop it onto pancakes, or use it as a filling for tarts — this curd is endlessly versatile and genuinely hard to stop eating.

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.
