In a medium saucepan, combine the full-fat coconut milk, unsweetened shredded coconut, and sea salt over medium heat.
Heat the mixture until it begins to simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the coconut from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with water to create a slurry.
Once the coconut milk mixture is simmering, reduce the heat to low, and slowly whisk in the arrowroot slurry into the saucepan.
Continue to cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the raw honey and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Let the pudding cool slightly, then transfer it to individual serving dishes or a large serving bowl.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the pudding to set fully.
Serve chilled, garnished with extra shredded coconut if desired.
