One day prior, place a can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight.
When ready to make, remove the can from the refrigerator. Scrape out the hardened coconut milk at the top of the can and put into a medium sized bowl or stand mixer bowl. Try to avoid scooping out any liquid, which can be discarded.
Using an electric mixer or whisk, mix the hardened coconut milk until light and fluffy like whipped cream. Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract and mix again until combined. Place in the refrigerator until ready for use.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Lightly whisk to prior to use.
