Ingredients

3 egg yolks
110g (½ cup) caster sugar
1 tbsp cornflour

80ml (⅓ cup) water
50g Fairy margarine, chopped

Whisk in lemon juice, passionfruit pulp and water.
Whisk constantly over a medium heat until boiling and thickened. Remove from the heat once boiling.
Whisk in Fairy margarine, as it gradually melts into the curd it will become thick and glossy.
Transfer to a bowl. Cover surface with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic to the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until cold. This curd will keep for up to a week in the fridge.
