Introducing Passion Fruit Curd

Are you looking for a deliciously smooth curd with a slight acidulous taste? Then the passion fruit curd is exactly what you need! You can use it in so many ways: in a tart (the quantities here are perfect for a 20-22 cm diameter tart), in a jar paired with crushed shortbread cookies, with a pannacotta, on a pavlova, or even with a no bake cheesecake. Honestly, the possibilities are endless!

You see, you can do whatever you want with it!!

Quick and Easy Recipe

This super easy recipe is ready in less than 10 minutes, whether you use your Thermomix or a saucepan (preferably with a thick bottom). Before rushing to the recipe, however, let me share a few interesting facts about passion fruit…

Why Passion Fruit is Amazing

This little exotic fruit has a fantastic flavor, both sweet and acidulous, and numerous virtues that make it really worth putting on your table (source Sante Magazine). In fact, passion fruit brings phosphorus, which is great for bones and teeth. It’s also a light fruit, with just 84 calories per 100 g. For a 60 g fruit, that’s around 70 calories.

Moreover, it provides iron, helping with fatigue and anemia. It’s also a great source of potassium and fiber. Packed with antioxidants and vitamin C, this fruit is truly a nutritional asset for your plate.
