PASSIONFRUIT CURD

I feel it is such a pity that we don’t get fresh and juicy produce of passionfruit in Delhi and for that reason, I end up buying bagfuls of passionfruits wherever I find them. I love passionfruit and they don’t stay for a long time, so I ended up taking the pulp out and creating this recipe of passion fruit curd so I can have one of my favorite fruits as and when I like!

Passionfruits are really flexible- you can use them as cake decoration, major ingredients in cakes, in smoothie bowls, as this passionfruit curd or just simply as fruits!

INGREDIENTS

• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cups sugar
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• pulp with seeds from 8 passion fruits
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter

PROCEDURE

• In a saucepan, whisk together eggs, sugar and lemon juice and passion fruit pulp until blended.
• Place the saucepan on low heat and stir continuously to prevent curdling.
• Cook the mixture until it becomes thick and covers the back of your spoon. This will take approximately 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• While the mixture is still hot, add butter and mix until it melts and is well incorporated
•  Cover the mixture with a cling film, touching the surface of the curd and let it cool in the fridge.
