Combine Butter and Sugar:

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.

Cool and Refrigerate:

Stir constantly while cooking to prevent the curd from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
For a thicker consistency, cook the curd for a few additional minutes.
Use fresh passionfruit pulp for the best flavor, but you can also use frozen pulp if fresh isn’t available.
Customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of sugar according to your taste preferences.
