Gently toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant. Allow it to cool completely.
Add the softened cream cheese, toasted coconut, raspberries, honey, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixing bowl.
Using a handheld mixer, beat the ingredients together until well combined and creamy. Some raspberries may burst, creating a lovely marbled look.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or storage container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the spread cold or at room temperature with your favorite bread, crackers, or fresh fruit.
