Make Curd: Add lemon juice, passionfruit, sugar and butter to a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and cook gently until the butter has melted and the mixture is almost simmering. Remove from heat. Add eggs to a medium bowl and whisk well, until combined. Slowly pour the lemon mixture over the eggs in a steady stream, whilst whisking. Transfer mixture back to the pot and place on low heat. Stir the mixture with a rubber spatula for about 5 minutes, until thickened and glossy. Remove from heat and strain through a sieve to remove any lumps. Cover and place into the fridge to cool.
