Step 1: In a medium saucepan, whisk together coconut milk, coconut cream, and sugar over medium heat. Cook until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to steam. Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine egg yolks and cornstarch. Slowly add half of the warm coconut mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking continuously to avoid curdling. Step 3: Return the combined mixtures to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the pudding thickens and starts to bubble, about 5 minutes. Step 4: Remove the pan from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt. Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or one large dish for sharing. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set. Step 5: Just before serving, cut open the passion fruits and spoon the pulp over the chilled coconut pudding. Enjoy!
