Add the dates and pulse until the mix starts to clump together. If this doesn't happen, add more dates.
Vanilla filling
Melt coconut oil and set aside to cool.
After 5 minutes, add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until very smooth. Pour into your base and set in the freezer.
Chocolate topping
Set up a heatproof bowl over a pot of just simmering water. Heat bowl, then turn off water.
Add coconut oil and allow to melt. Once liquid, add remaining ingredients then whisk until smooth. Pour final layer onto cake, and reset in freezer.
