If you're looking for the best Mango Sticky Rice recipe, my easy homemade version is creamy, naturally sweet and incredibly simple to make. Made with sticky glutinous rice, coconut milk, maple syrup and juicy Pakistani mangoes, it's the perfect dessert!
Instructions
Cook the Sticky Rice
- Rinse the sticky rice several times until the water runs mostly clear.
- Cook according to the packet instructions until soft, tender and cooked through.
Make the Coconut Milk mixture
- Pour the coconut milk into a saucepan.
- Add the maple syrup.
- Heat gently over a medium-low heat, stirring until the maple syrup has completely dissolved.
- Do not allow the mixture to boil.
- Once combined, reserve a little of the sweetened coconut milk for pouring over the finished dessert when serving.
Combine the Rice
- Pour the remaining sweetened coconut milk over the cooked sticky rice.
- Stir until every grain of rice is evenly coated.
- Leave to rest for 10–15 minutes so the rice absorbs the coconut milk and becomes beautifully soft and creamy.
Prepare the Mango
- Peel the chilled Pakistani Chaunsa mangoes.
- Cut each mango into bite-sized chunks.
Plate up!
- Divide the sticky rice between two serving plates.
- Shape the rice into three neat balls on one side of each plate.
- Arrange the fresh mango chunks neatly on the opposite side.
- Drizzle the reserved sweetened coconut milk generously over the sticky rice.
- Finish with a sprinkle of toasted white sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
