Start by preparing the Medjool dates. Use a small knife to make a slit along one side of each date and remove the pit inside.
Take a spoon and carefully fill each date with approximately 1 teaspoon of almond butter. Use the back of the spoon to gently press the almond butter into the cavity.
Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over the almond butter in each date for enhanced flavor.
Press a few slivered almonds into the almond butter of each date to add some crunch.
Lightly dust the almond butter-filled dates with cinnamon for warmth and complexity.
Spread the shredded coconut on a small plate or shallow dish. Roll each almond butter stuffed date in the shredded coconut, pressing gently to ensure the coconut adheres to the almond butter.
Once all the dates are filled and garnished, transfer them to a serving platter.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
