Notes
This vegan passion fruit curd can be used immediately, but since it thickens up a lot after cooling and being chilled, I would recommend making it ahead of time if you're planning on using it in a recipe.
Personally, I prefer to sieve the seeds out of the juice/pulp before making this curd, as the seedless curd is that bit more enjoyable! However, if you like the crunch that the seeds provide, then feel free to keep them!
