A simple and comforting Thai dessert featuring silky sticky rice paired with ripe mangoes and a luscious coconut cream sauce. Ready in under 45 minutes, this recipe delivers authentic flavors with easy-to-find ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup glutinous (sweet) rice, rinsed
  • 1 1/4 cups water (for soaking and steaming)
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk (full-fat)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced (Ataulfo or Keitt varieties recommended)
  • Optional: toasted sesame seeds or mung beans for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup of glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in 1 1/4 cups of water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Drain the soaked rice thoroughly. Place it in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Steam over boiling water for 20-25 minutes, fluffing gently halfway through.
  3. While the rice steams, combine 1 cup coconut milk, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a saucepan. Warm over low heat until sugar dissolves, do not boil. Reserve a few tablespoons for drizzling.
  4. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Pour the warm coconut sauce over the rice and stir gently to coat. Cover and let sit for 15-20 minutes to absorb flavors.
  5. Peel and slice 2 ripe mangoes into thin slices.
  6. Serve the sticky rice with mango slices on the side. Drizzle reserved coconut cream sauce on top and garnish with toasted sesame seeds or mung beans if desired.

Notes

Soaking the sticky rice for at least 4 hours or overnight is critical for the perfect texture. Serve the sticky rice warm for best creaminess; reheat gently if needed. Adjust sugar in the coconut sauce based on mango sweetness. Use certified gluten-free sticky rice for gluten-free assurance. Coconut cream sauce can be prepared a day ahead and warmed before serving.
