9. Add the dissolved gelatin to the cheesecake mixture and mix until smooth.
10. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
11. Refrigerate the cheesecake bars for at least 4 hours, or until set.
12. For the topping, combine the passion fruit pulp, water, and granulated sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
13. Cook until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly, then remove from heat.
14. In a small bowl, hydrate the gelatin in water according to package instructions, then add it to the passion fruit mixture and stir until fully dissolved.
