Check that the blackcurrant coulis has thickened, it should have the texture of a jam. If it hasn't, put it back in the fridge and wait.
If it's ready, start assembling by placing a layer of cream in each verrine (a piping bag is ideal for this).

Pour a layer of blackcurrant coulis, thickened by chilling.
Stage 9 - ⌛ 4 min.
Finish with a layer of granola.
Stage 10
Put back in the fridge if not serving immediately.
Remarks
You can swap the layers of blackcurrant and crème, but it's better to leave the granola on top.
You can adapt this recipe by replacing the blackcurrant coulis with another fruit, if possible a slightly tart one, such as raspberry, strawberry, apricot, etc.

Passion fruit jellies
Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour.
