Instructions

Heat passion fruit juice in a non-reactive saucepan until steaming but not boiling.
Whisk eggs and yolks together with sweetener until well blended.
Whisk in hot juice slowly then transfer eggs and lemon back to saucepan and heat over medium until the curd coats the back of a spoon, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in butter, cream, and salt. Pour through a fine mesh strainer to remove any possible scrambled egg bits. Store in the refrigerator.

Notes

You can actually cook the curd in the microwave, if you prefer. Simply blend all ingredients except the butter until smooth and transfer to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute and then stir with a spoon. Continue microwaving in 1 minute increments, stirring after each minute until the mixture is thick and coats the back of a spoon (or until the temperature measures 175ºF). Add the butter and blend again until smooth.
