Making Passionfruit Curd
In a saucepan, place eggs, sugar, egg yolks, passionfruit pulp and lemon juice.
Whisk together until combined. Over medium low heat, stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved.
Constantly stirring, slowly add cubes of butter, melting before adding more.
Reduce heat to low, keep stirring and cooking until the passionfruit curd thickens and easily coats back of a spoon. This may take 10 minutes depending on the heat.
