1. In a high-speed blender, combine diced ripe mango, coconut milk, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
2. Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish (9×13 pan works great). Cover and freeze for 1 hour.
3. Remove and stir vigorously with a fork, breaking up any ice crystals. Return to freezer and repeat this process every hour for 4 hours total.
4. After the final stir, let ice cream freeze for at least 1 more hour until firm enough to scoop but not rock hard.
5. Working quickly, scoop generous portions of ice cream onto 6 graham cracker sheets. Sprinkle each with shredded coconut.
6. Top with remaining graham crackers and press gently to create sandwiches. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
7. Freeze assembled sandwiches for 1-2 hours until completely firm before serving.
