So, I’ve had my Froothie Optimum 9400 for a while now and I’ve used it for so much more than just blending up soups and smoothies.
Its super high speed motor creates friction as it blends which opens up a whole world of recipes that need to be heated as they’re mixed. Inspired by the lovely Jacqueline from Tinned Tomatoes and her Froothie Lime Curd, I’ve developed this recipe for a Passion Fruit and Lime Curd that is simply divine!
You can use this curd in so many different ways; it’s perfect in pastries and tarts, wonderful on toast and (my favourite) delicious on a spoon straight from the jar! I think this curd is better than curd made by other methods, mainly because the blending incorporates air into the curd which gives a lovely light texture. I also love it because it’s so quick and simple and cleanup is a breeze.
If you don’t have a high speed blender you could make this by whisking in a pan over a low-med heat for around 30 mins or until thickened. Don’t try to heat too quickly or you’ll end up with some sweet scrambled eggs…! (Don’t ask me how I know…)
For a super quick dessert, I layered pre-made meringue nests, whipped cream and the curd into delicious mini pavlovas. I’d certainly recommend you try this!

This looks amazing, such a gorgeous colour!! I think I'd be joining you in having a spoonful straight from the jar 😉
Thanks Becca. If you're ever in Norwich, let me know and we can have a curd tasting party! 😀
An amazingly vibrant colour! I love your artful plating too!
Thanks Helen. I just made it up with regards to the plating up! Blobbed on the curd and smashed it sideways. Seemed to work! 🙂
This looks delicious, I wonder if it would work in my Nutribullet? I am prepared to chance my arm, I know that this would be very well received in this house !

Stunning! I bet it tastes amazing. I love passion and fruit and lime separately so I'm intrigued to see how they taste together x

I'm a bit obsessed by passion fruit. They feel like such a treat don't they? I love the fact that they are bit ugly, so what's inside is even more unexpectedly wonderful. Must try this!
