Sticky Rice With Mango
Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous rice
preferably long-grain, sweet
- 1 1/4 cup coconut milk
fresh or canned, see note
- 1/2 cup granulated cane sugar
raw sugar or light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
fresh or canned, see note
- 1 or 2 ripe mangoes
peeled and cut in 1/2-inch slices
Directions
- 1
Put rice in a bowl and rinse several times in cold water until water is clear, not milky, then drain. Cover rice with cold water and let soak for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
- 2
Drain rice using a fine-meshed sieve or colander (line with cheesecloth if colander holes are too large). Place rice over a pot of rapidly simmering water (don’t allow water to touch sieve) and steam, covered, for 15 minutes.
- 3
Remove lid and flip rice over. Continue steaming, covered, for 10 minutes, until rice is translucent and glossy. Taste to make sure rice is completely cooked; it may take up to 10 minutes more. Turn off heat. Fluff rice with a wooden spoon, then cover and let rest for 5 minutes.

While rice cooks, put coconut milk, sugar and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, just until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.

Put warm rice in a serving bowl. Pour coconut milk mixture over rice and stir well. Leave for 10 minutes to let absorb, then stir in coconut cream. Serve warm or at room temperature with mango slices.

About this Recipe
Craving a dessert that's both comforting and exotic? This Sticky Rice With Mango recipe brings the delightful flavors of tropical sweetness straight to your kitchen, creating a truly irresistible treat.
What makes this dish truly special is the unique texture of the glutinous rice, which transforms into a translucent, shiny, and perfectly sticky canvas. Paired with rich coconut milk and cream, and vibrant, ripe mangoes, it's undoubtedly one of the best things to eat under the sun.
You'll discover a harmonious balance of creamy, sweet, and fruity notes in every bite. The glutinous rice, often called “sweet rice,” absorbs the luscious coconut sauce, becoming wonderfully tender and, of course, delightfully sticky. Despite its “glutinous” name, this large white grain is naturally gluten-free, offering a chewy yet delicate foundation for the fresh mango slices. The combination of the sweet rice, rich coconut, and juicy mango creates a truly satisfying and memorable dessert experience.
Feel free to experiment with the type of sugar you use; granulated cane sugar, raw sugar, or light brown sugar each lend their own subtle caramel notes to the sweet coconut sauce. For the coconut components, either fresh or canned coconut milk and coconut cream will work beautifully. The key to success also lies in selecting perfectly ripe mangoes, ensuring their sweetness complements the rich rice.
This delightful dessert is perfect for rounding out any meal, especially when you're seeking a taste of the tropics. It shines as a light yet decadent treat, best enjoyed simply as is.
