Description

Fresh mango meets creamy coconut sticky rice in this simple Thai dessert. A perfect ending to any meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cups (118 ml) sticky, glutinous rice
  • 1/2 cups (118 ml) thin coconut milk
  • 1/2 cups (118 ml) thick coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp coconut cream
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 sweet, ripe mango
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Soak the rice for 30 minutes, then add the thin coconut milk (do not drain the soaking water).
  2. Simmer on low heat until the rice is cooked and soft, adding water if needed.
  3. Meanwhile, simmer the thick coconut milk with sugar and salt on very low heat until it bubbles.
  4. Add the coconut milk mixture to the cooked rice and mix well.
  5. Keep covered for 15-30 minutes until the rice absorbs the mixture.
  6. Check for sweetness and add more sugar if needed.
  7. Serve warm with chilled mango pieces, coconut cream (optional), and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, toast the sticky rice lightly in a dry pan before soaking.
  • If your mango isn’t very sweet, add a pinch more sugar to the coconut milk mixture.
  • Store leftover sticky rice in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
