A delicious and authentic Thai dessert featuring chewy glutinous sticky rice paired with ripe mango and rich, gently sweetened coconut cream. Perfect for a comforting yet exotic treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (200g) glutinous (sticky) rice, rinsed and soaked overnight
  • 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup (240ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar, adjust to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) water, for steaming the rice
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds or mung beans (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup (200g) of glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in fresh water overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  2. Peel and slice 2 large ripe mangoes into thin, even pieces. Set aside.
  3. Drain the soaked rice and set it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Steam over boiling water for 20-25 minutes, fluffing gently halfway through.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup (240ml) full-fat coconut milk, 1/3 cup (65g) sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Warm gently over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Do not boil. Remove from heat.
  5. Transfer steamed rice to a bowl. Pour about 3/4 of the warm coconut cream over it and gently stir to combine. Cover and let sit for 20-30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  6. Warm the remaining 1/4 cup coconut cream gently to serve as a drizzle over the finished dish.
  7. Plate a generous scoop of sticky rice beside sliced mango. Drizzle with the reserved coconut cream and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds or mung beans for crunch.

Notes

Soak the sticky rice overnight or at least 6 hours for the best chewy texture. Avoid boiling the coconut cream to prevent separation. Use ripe mangoes that are fragrant and slightly soft to the touch. If coconut cream is too thin, simmer gently to thicken before mixing with rice. Keep the lid on tightly while steaming to ensure even cooking. Leftovers should be stored separately and consumed within 2 days.
