A quick and delicious Thai-inspired dessert featuring creamy coconut-infused sticky rice served with sweet ripe mango slices and a luscious coconut sauce, ready in just 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Sticky Rice

  • 1½ cups sticky rice (also called glutinous or sweet rice)
  • 1¾ cups boiling water

Coconut Mixture

  • 1¾ cups coconut milk, divided (equivalent to a 13.5 ounce can)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon corn starch

Other

  • 1–2 ripe honey mangos, peeled and cut into thin slices
  • 1½ teaspoons sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all required ingredients including sticky rice, coconut milk, sugar, salt, corn starch, mangoes, and sesame seeds.
  2. Wash the Rice: Place sticky rice in a microwave-safe bowl, fill with water, and stir with your hand to wash. Pour out the water and repeat two more times until the water runs clear.
  3. Drain and Soak Rice: Drain the rice thoroughly using a colander. Pour boiling water over the rice and let it soak uncovered for 10 minutes.
  4. Prepare Coconut Mixture: In a saucepan, combine 1¼ cups coconut milk with ¼ cup sugar. Heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves, then turn off the heat and set aside.
  5. Microwave Rice (First Session): After soaking, stir the rice. Cover with a microwave-safe plate or loosely with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 3 minutes.
  6. Microwave Rice (Second Session): Carefully remove the rice, uncover to avoid steam burns, stir from bottom up, cover again, and microwave for another 3 minutes.
  7. Check and Finish Cooking Rice: Remove the bowl, uncover, and stir. If water remains, microwave for an additional 3 minutes until water is absorbed.
  8. Mix Coconut Milk with Rice: Pour the reserved coconut mixture (from step 4) over the hot rice, stir, and let it absorb.
  9. Prepare Coconut Sauce: In the same saucepan, add the remaining ½ cup coconut milk, 3 tablespoons sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon corn starch. Whisk and heat over medium until the sauce boils and thickens.
  10. Serve: Plate the sticky rice and arrange mango slices alongside. Optionally sprinkle sesame seeds on top and drizzle with the thickened coconut sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor contrast with the sticky rice.
  • Microwave times may vary slightly depending on your appliance; adjust as needed to ensure rice is fully cooked.
  • Sesame seeds add a nice crunch and subtle nuttiness but are optional.
  • You can substitute the honey mango with Ataulfo or other sweet mango varieties.
  • For a vegan version, ensure the coconut milk is pure and doesn’t contain additives.
