Ingredients
- ½ cup passion fruit juice from about 9 small passion fruits, 120ml
- 2 egg large
- 1 egg large, yolk
- 4 tablespoons butter 60g, cubed
- ½ cup granulated sugar 100g
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch or potato starch
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop out the seeds. You will need about 9 small passion fruits to get 1/2 cup of juice.
- Juice the passion fruit - add the seeds to a blender. Pulse a couple of times to break down the seeds. Don't mix them for too long or the pieces will be too small to strain! Strain the seeds through a fine-mesh strainer and discard them. Measure out 1/2 cup of juice.
- Make the curd using a double boiler method - prepare a medium pot and bowl (glass or non-reactive metal bowl such as stainless steel). Place the bowl over the pot with boiling water, the bowl can't touch the water surface. Add all ingredients for the curd (except for the eggs and the yolk). Whisk until the butter and sugar dissolve (over medium heat).
- Reduce the heat to the minimum, add the eggs and the egg yolk, let the curd steam gently, until thickened. It will take about 10 minutes. At first, you have to mix sporadically, at the end very often. The curd should have a pudding consistency. It will keep thickening as it cools.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- How to know if your passion fruit curd is ready? It should have a thick consistency, like a pudding. If you're still not sure, you can measure the temperature of the curd with a thermometer. It should be 160°F / 71°C.
- What to do if your passion fruit curd has clumps: The heat under the pot must be really small, otherwise, the eggs will curdle - if this happens and you will see clumps in the curd, just put the mixture through a fine sieve quickly, then put it back on the burner.
- The curd is sweet and slightly sour, with a distinct passion fruit taste. If you want a distinctly sour curd you can use juice from about 6 passion fruits (6 tablespoons of juice, 90ml) mixed with lemon juice (3 tablespoons, 45ml) but then the taste of passion fruit is not so pronounced.
- Storage: Store it in the fridge for up to 1 week (possibly more, I haven't tried that!). Place plastic foil on top of the curd to prevent creating a 'skin'. You can freeze it for up to 6 months.
- Yields about 1 cup.
