In a saucepan, heat coconut milk, cream, sugar, and corn kernels until steaming. Let simmer 5 minutes, then remove from heat and steep 15 minutes.
Strain mixture into a bowl. Discard corn solids.
Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl. Let bloom 5 minutes.
Reheat coconut mixture gently. Stir in bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Add vanilla and pinch of salt.
