Substitutes for Dried Shredded Coconut in gelato

Dried shredded coconut (unsweetened desiccated coconut) is coconut meat that has been grated and dried to about 3% moisture, leaving a solids-rich flake that is roughly two-thirds fat. In gelato it works as a high-fat, high-fiber flavor inclusion rather than a sweetener or freezing-point modifier. Closest matches on the balancing numbers, ranked. Swap and adjust as noted.
