Beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt until completely smooth.Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently until no streaks remain. Transfer to a shallow freezer-safe container and freeze for about 2 hours until firm enough to scoop.
While the ice cream firms up, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shredded coconut, chopped pecans, cinnamon, and golden monk fruit sweetener. Stir constantly for 4 to 5 minutes until everything is deeply golden and fragrant. Transfer to a plate and let cool completely.
Using a small cookie scoop, form the ice cream into 14 to 16 balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Work quickly so the ice cream stays firm. Freeze the balls for at least 30 minutes until solid.
Crush the cooled coconut pecan mixture slightly if there are large clumps, then spread it on a plate. Roll each frozen ice cream ball in the coating, pressing gently so it sticks on all sides.
Place the coated bites back on the parchment-lined sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour until completely firm.
Drizzle with sugar-free caramel sauce and serve immediately with whipped cream if desired. Keep leftovers stored in an airtight container in the freezer.
