Passionfruit Curd Recipe

Overview:

πŸ•’ Total Time: 35 minutes
πŸ₯„ Servings: Makes about 4 cups
πŸ“ Description: Manna from heaven! This delightful passionfruit curd is perfect for serving with meringues, pavlova, scones, muffins, or as a filling for cakes and tarts. It pairs wonderfully with thick cream or vanilla yogurt, elevating dishes with its tropical flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups passion fruit pulp
  • 6 large eggs
  • 5 cups granulated sugar

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Ingredients:

    • Gather all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. Combine Butter and Sugar:

    • Place the unsalted butter and granulated sugar in the top section of a double saucepan or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water.
    • Allow them to melt together, stirring occasionally until smooth. This should take about 15 minutes.
  3. Whisk in Eggs and Passionfruit Pulp:

    • Once the butter and sugar have combined, whisk in the beaten eggs and passionfruit pulp.
    • Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 15 minutes, until it thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon.
    • Be careful not to let it boil to prevent curdling.
  4. Cool and Refrigerate:

    • Remove the curd from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
    • Once cooled, cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
    • Refrigerate the curd until chilled. It will keep well for 1 to 2 weeks in the fridge.
