Prepare the Coconut Cream: Open the cans of chilled coconut cream and scoop out the thick cream from the top. Save the liquid for other uses. Place the cream in a chilled metal bowl. Add vanilla essence and powdered stevia or sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until thick and fluffy. Keep it in the fridge while preparing other ingredients.
Prepare the Filling: Strain the passionfruit pulp over a small bowl, keeping the seeds and juice separate. In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese with lime rind and stevia until smooth. In another bowl, combine mango and passionfruit seeds. Pour the reserved passionfruit juice, orange/apricot/peach juice, and Cointreau into another bowl.
Assemble the Tiramisu: Soak half of the sponge fingers in the juice and liqueur mixture. Arrange the soaked sponge fingers in a deep casserole dish. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the fingers, followed by half of the chilled coconut cream, and then sprinkle half of the mango mixture on top. Repeat with the remaining sponge fingers, juice/liqueur mixture, cream cheese mixture, and mango mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for the best flavor.
