Steps:
- Sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup of water and reserve.
- Using a whisk, mix coconut cream with yolks. Place in a heavy saucepan over low heat and cook, stirring, until mixture thickens.
- Add gelatin mixture and stir until gelatin dissolves. Set aside to cool.
- Beat egg whites until stiff, slowly adding 1/2 cup sugar while beating. Fold into coconut cream until well mixed.
- Boil remaining 1/2 cup sugar with the 1/2 cup water until thick and syrupy - 220 degrees on a candy thermometer. Cool and add rum and vanilla.
- Butter a charlotte mold. Soak ladyfingers thoroughly, one by one, in the sugar syrup and line the sides of the mold. Pour in a third of the coconut cream. Moisten more ladyfingers and layer over the cream. Repeat twice, ending with ladyfingers.
- Refrigerate at least 6 hours.
- Whip the cream just before serving, and unmold the mousse on a round platter. Garnish with candied violets and mint leaves, if desired. Serve with the whipped cream.
