Start by placing both 13.5-ounce cans of full-fat coconut milk into a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the unsweetened shredded coconut and sea salt to the saucepan, stirring occasionally, until the coconut milk begins to simmer.
While the mixture heats, prepare your date paste if not using store-bought. This can be done by blending pitted dates with a small amount of warm water until smooth.
Once the coconut milk mixture reaches a gentle simmer, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Stir in the date paste and vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well incorporated into a smooth mixture.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before covering it and placing it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill.
Once chilled, process the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches the texture of soft-serve ice cream.
Transfer the gelato to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 2 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
Serve the coconut gelato with a garnish of toasted coconut flakes if desired.
