A simple, fast, and creamy mango sticky rice dessert made with glutinous rice, coconut milk, and toasted sesame seeds. Perfect for a quick and satisfying tropical treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (200g) glutinous (sticky) rice
  • 1 cup (240ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 medium ripe mangoes (such as Ataulfo or Keitt)
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • Optional: 1 pandan leaf
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Rinse the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear (about 3-4 rinses). Drain well.
  2. Add the rinsed rice to a medium saucepan and pour in 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) of water. Let soak for at least 30 minutes if possible.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for another 10 minutes.
  4. While the rice cooks, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Add pandan leaf and/or vanilla extract if using. Warm over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Do not boil. Remove pandan leaf if used.
  5. Transfer cooked rice to a large bowl. Gradually pour about two-thirds of the warm coconut sauce over the rice, gently folding to combine. Cover and let absorb for 15-20 minutes.
  6. Toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat.
  7. Peel and slice mangoes into thin wedges or cubes.
  8. Spoon creamy sticky rice onto serving plates, arrange mango slices alongside, drizzle with remaining coconut sauce, and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Notes

Soaking the rice for 30 minutes improves texture but can be skipped if short on time. Toast sesame seeds carefully to avoid burning. Warm coconut sauce gently to dissolve sugar without boiling. Gently fold sauce into rice to keep grains intact. Serve shortly after assembly for best texture. Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 2 days; reheat gently with splash of coconut milk.
