the other day i made passion fruit macaroons for a cookie exchange. but the passion fruit portion of the macaron really only exists in the curd filling. the filling is suuuuuuuper easy to make and way tasty. it's tangy and slightly floral. you can find the macaron shell recipe here, but you could probably use the curd recipe to top a cake or cheesecake too! or if you're like me, you could probably just eat it right out of the container, as it's literally finger-lickin'-good.
*passion fruit concentrate isn't always the easiest thing to find. after searching a few stores, i finally found some at a Mexican grocery store in the Mission district in SF.
