2. To make the topping, put the young coconut meat, the maple syrup, coconut oil and the lemon juice into a vitamix blender or highspeed blender of your choice, add a pinch of salt and the vanilla essence. Pour it into a bowl and then add the coconut flour and mix in well with a wooden spoon, the mix should resemble a light and fluffy cakey texture. Take the base out of the freezer and add the topping and smooth it over. Transfer to freezer or fridge until set. Once it is set cut it into slices and store in an airtight container. It should last up to a week if stored in a fridge.
