Bloom the gelatin by sprinkling it over cold water and letting it sit for a few minutes.
In a saucepan, heat the coconut milk, heavy cream, sugar, and salt until steaming but not boiling.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
Add vanilla, if using, and mix well.
Pour the mixture into molds or glasses and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
In a small saucepan, combine the passion fruit pulp, sugar, and water.
Simmer the mixture for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Allow the syrup to cool completely before using.
Top the chilled panna cotta with the cooled passion fruit syrup just before serving.
For a smoother texture, strain the passion fruit pulp to remove seeds before making the syrup.
You can prepare the panna cotta a day in advance for convenience.
