Indulge in the tropical flavors of this classic Thai dessert with our easy Mango Sticky Rice recipe. Creamy coconut-infused sticky rice is paired with sweet mango slices, a luscious coconut sauce, and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for a delightful treat.

Ingredients

For the sticky rice:

  • 1 cup glutinous (sweet) rice
  • 1 ¼ cup coconut milk
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt

For the coconut sauce:

  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (optional, for thickening)

Toppings:

  • 2 ripe mangoes, sliced
  • Toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Soak and cook the sticky rice: Rinse the rice until water runs clear. Soak in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Steam the rice for 25–30 minutes until tender. (You can also use a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth.)
  2. Make the coconut rice mixture: In a saucepan, heat 1 ¼ cup coconut milk with sugar and salt. Stir until dissolved. Don’t boil. Pour this over the cooked hot rice. Mix gently, cover, and let sit for 20–30 minutes to absorb.
  3. Make the coconut sauce: In a small saucepan, heat ½ cup coconut milk with sugar and salt. Add cornstarch slurry if using. Simmer until slightly thickened.
  4. Assemble: Serve a scoop of sticky rice with mango slices. Drizzle with coconut sauce and top with sesame seeds and fresh mint if desired. Enjoy!
