Servings: 18 tbsp (1 small jar)
Calories: 46kcal
Ingredients
- 6 passionfruit (roughly 75ml juice sieved)
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 80 g sugar (caster or granulated)
- 50 g unsalted butter
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Scoop out the pulp and seeds from the passionfruit and whizz this up in a food processor, blender or smoothie maker to separate the seeds from the pulp.
- Strain this through a sieve to remove the seeds and either discard this or keep a few back if you want seeds in your curd.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg, yolk and sugar together until smooth.
- Stir in the sieved passionfruit juice to the egg mixture until combined.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan on a low-medium heat and slowly add the egg mixture whilst stirring.
- Stir continuously for roughly 10mins until the curd has thickened to a thin custard consistency and coats the back of your spoon/spatula. Pour this into a jar and allow it to cool on the side before refrigerating.
Notes
- Makes roughly 270ml of curd, which is roughly one jam-jar full. If you're planning to make more as gifts, scale up as needed.
- This is a gluten-free recipe.
