Creamy mango sticky rice cups layered with sweet coconut infused glutinous rice and fresh ripe mango slices. This tropical dessert is rich, lightly sweet, and perfect for serving in individual portions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup glutinous sticky rice, rinsed and soaked for 1 hour
  • 1 ½ cups coconut milk, divided
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. Drain the soaked sticky rice.
  2. Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the drained rice with 1 cup of coconut milk, sugar, and salt.
  3. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook on low heat for 15 minutes until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
  4. Remove from heat and let the rice sit covered for 10 minutes to finish steaming.
  5. In a small saucepan, heat the remaining ½ cup coconut milk. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Spoon the sticky rice into dessert cups.
  7. Top with sliced mango and drizzle with the thickened coconut sauce before serving.

Notes

  • Rinse the rice thoroughly until the water runs clear for the best texture.
  • Do not boil the coconut milk aggressively to prevent separation.
  • Use very ripe mangoes for natural sweetness and better flavor.
