Can I leave out the shredded coconut?
I personally never tried the recipe without shredded coconut so I cannot guarantee you will achieve the same texture.

Could I use almond butter in this recipe instead of the peanut butter?
Yes, but make sure the almond butter is nice and drippy and not thick or clumpy.
