Passion Fruit Curd
- 100 g passion fruit puree (1/2 cup)
- 65 g sugar (1/3 cup)
- 2 eggs
- 1 gelatin sheet
- 170 g butter, very cold 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks)
- 2 g kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon)
- Put the passion fruit puree and sugar in a blender and blend until the sugar granules have dissolved.
- Add the eggs and blend on low until you have a bright-orange-yellow mixture.
- Transfer the contents of the blender to a medium pot or saucepan.
- Clean the blender canister.
- Bloom the gelatin (see page 29).
- Heat the passion fruit mixture over low heat, whisking regularly.
- As it heats up, it will begin to thicken; keep a close eye on it.
- Once it boils, remove it from the stove and transfer it to the blender.
- Add the bloomed gelatin, butter, and salt and blend until the mixture is thick, shiny, and super-smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a heatproof container, and put in the fridge until the curd has cooled completely, at least 30 minutes.
- The curd can be refrigerated for up to 1 week; do not freeze.
- Powdered gelatin can be substituted for the gelatin sheets: use 1/2 teaspoon.
