Passion Fruit Curd
Description
The recipe starts by halving passion fruits and scraping out the seeds and pulp, then heating them to encourage juice release. The passion fruit mixture is strained through a fine mesh sieve to separate the juice, which is then combined with sugar and eggs. Gentle heating while whisking thickens the mixture to a custard-like consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
The resulting curd balances the bright acidity and tropical flavor of passion fruit with sweetness. Its smooth texture makes it versatile for spreading on breads, adding to pastries, or using as a topping.
Fresh passion fruits are preferred for their juice content, though freshly squeezed passion fruit juice can be substituted, but concentrates should be avoided to maintain the fresh taste. The notes emphasize the approximate juice yield from 12 passion fruits and recommend review of detailed preparation tips available on the source blog.
Ingredients
- 12 passion fruit see note, whole
- ¼ cup granulated sugar or caster sugar
- 1 egg whole
- 1 egg yolk
Instructions
- Begin by cutting the passion fruits in half and using a spoon to scrape the seeds into a saucepan.
- Heat these over a medium heat for about 5 minutes to help the seeds release their juices. Then remove from the heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve, scraping the seeds against the sieve to press the juices out into a bowl.
- Return the juice to the saucepan and add the sugar, egg and yolk. Whisk together while heating over a medium heat for about 10 minutes until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from the heat and decant into a heatproof bowl or jar to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Twelve passion fruits yield approximately ½ to ¾ cup of juice after straining.
- Fresh passion fruit juice can replace fresh fruit pulp, but avoid juice from concentrate to preserve flavor.
- Use a fine mesh sieve to press seeds carefully for maximum juice extraction.
