Preheat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the unsweetened shredded coconut and toast for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, diced mango, diced papaya, sliced bananas, and sliced kiwis.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
Drizzle the lime-honey glaze over the mixed fruits and gently toss to ensure all the fruit is evenly coated.
Transfer the fruit mixture to a serving bowl or individual dessert glasses.
Sprinkle the toasted coconut on top of the fruit mixture.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
