Passion Fruit Curd: a must for serious bakers

Passion Fruit Curd: a must for serious bakers
passion fruit curd

Passion Fruit Curd is the tastiest thing you never knew you needed in your life. I remember the first time I tasted Passion Fruit. WOW! The taste was so unique, sweet yet tart, and had a slight floral note to it too. Sooooo good. I wanted to put it in and on everything. I had to make a Passion Fruit Curd to drizzle on my Pina Colada Cake. It was the perfect flavor to accent the other tropical flavors of coconut, pineapple and rum.

Believe when I tell you that you may just want to eat it with a spoon straight from the jar. Think of it as pudding, a sauce, and even a dipping sauce for cookies or cubes of cake. Any where you may have used a Lemon Curd, like this Lemon Curd Crumb Coffee Cake, you can substitute Passion Fruit Curd. Imagine a Passion Fruit Meringue Pie!! OMG! I think I will be making that very soon.

Making Passion Fruit Curd is the same as making Lemon Curd. You will need egg yolks, sugar, fruit juice, and butter.

  • Use as a filling in layer cakes
  • Use as a drizzle on top of cakes
  • Pipe it inside a danish or pastry
  • Use it as a filling for Linzer cookies instead of jam
  • Drizzle over ice cream
  • Swirl it in an ice cream, sherbet or gelato
  • Dip cookies or cubes of pound cake in it for a dessert plate or table
  • Use as a filling in tarts and pies
  • Use as layers in a trifle ( like a Southern Banana Pudding or one with other tropical flavors)
  • Drizzle over Pancakes and Waffles

Author Giselle Raymond, Culinary Curator

Ingredients

  • 8 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup passion fruit juice can use from frozen
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups cold butter cut into small cubes 10 tbps

Instructions

  1. Combine yolks, passion fruit juice, and sugar in a heavy-bottom saucepan then whisk to combine. 

    Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Make sure to scrape the sides of the pan until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon about 8 to 10 minutes. Using a thermometer, when the mixture gets to 160 degrees remove the saucepan from heat. 

    Add the salt and butter, one piece at a time, stirring until smooth. Strain the curd through a fine sieve into a medium bowl. 

    Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the curd to prevent a skin from forming. 

    Refrigerate until chilled and set, at least 1 hour to several hours.


    Enjoy!
