Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- ½ cup (120 ml) passion fruit pulp
Dairy and Eggs:
- 6 tablespoons (84 grams) unsalted butter
- 4 large egg yolks
Other Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons (75 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Prepare a clean workspace and gather all ingredients for the passionfruit curd preparation.
- Using an electric mixer, whip the butter until it transforms into a silky, smooth consistency with soft peaks forming.
- Gradually incorporate granulated sugar and salt into the butter, continuing to blend until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Introduce egg yolks individually, mixing thoroughly after each addition to create a uniform, glossy texture.
- Carefully fold in the vibrant passionfruit pulp, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture. The liquid may appear slightly separated, which is completely normal.
- Transfer the fragrant mixture to a heavy-bottomed saucepan, positioning it over low, gentle heat.
- Stir the mixture continuously with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, maintaining a consistent motion to prevent scorching.
- Monitor the curd’s consistency, watching for a transformation that allows it to elegantly coat the back of a spoon without running off quickly.
- Remove from heat immediately once the desired thickness is achieved, typically after 5-7 minutes of careful cooking.
- Pour the luscious curd into a clean, heat-resistant glass bowl, allowing natural cooling at room temperature.
- Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent skin formation and refrigerate for a minimum of 6-8 hours.
- The chilled curd will develop a rich, spreadable consistency perfect for multiple culinary applications.
Notes
- Cooling transforms the vibrant mixture into a silky, spreadable delight that intensifies its tropical essence.
- Cooking requires gentle heat and constant stirring to prevent burning, creating a luxurious texture without scrambling the delicate ingredients.
- Combining passion fruit pulp with butter, sugar, and egg yolks builds a tangy, creamy base that promises a burst of exotic flavor in every spoonful.
