1. Coconut Cream Mousse

3. Add Gelatin: Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
4. Chill the Mixture: Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator until slightly thickened (about 30 minutes).
5. Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, whip heavy cream and sugar until stiff peaks form.
6. Combine: Gently fold the chilled coconut mixture into the whipped cream until fully combined.
7. Set: Transfer to a serving dish or bowls and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.

2. Passion Fruit Sauce

1. In a saucepan, combine passion fruit pulp, sugar, and lemon juice.
2. (Optional) Mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry and stir into the saucepan.

3. Crumble
