Preheat oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toast the coconut for 5 minutes until golden.
In microwave safe bowl, add your vegan chocolate chips, coconut oil, vanilla extract and melt in 10-20 second intervals stirring in between until it's a smooth and creamy melted chocolate. (Optional reserve 2 tablespoons to drizzle on top after it hardens/sets for extra fancy appearance and taste)
Add your toasted coconut and stir really well!
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and use a medium cookie scoop or large spoon to scoop out piles of the chocolate coconut mixture. (optional sprinkle with sea salt)
Freeze coconut haystacks for 20 minutes to harden and then remove them to enjoy!
If drizzling with extra chocolate then do that now and return to freezer another 5 minutes to set.
Store in the freezer up to 1 month or fridge 1 week.
