This Summer Mango Sticky Rice Dessert recipe brings together the sweet creaminess of coconut sticky rice with juicy ripe mangoes for the perfect tropical Thai treat. Ideal for warm weather, this gluten-free, dairy-free dessert is easy to make and rich in flavor, perfect for summer gatherings or a light sweet ending to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup glutinous (sticky) rice

  • 1 ½ cups coconut milk

  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced

  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

  • Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Rinse sticky rice until water runs clear. Soak in water for 4–6 hours or overnight.

  2. Steam soaked rice for about 20–25 minutes until tender.

  3. While rice is steaming, heat coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Stir until sugar dissolves—do not boil.

  4. Once rice is cooked, transfer to a bowl and gently mix in most of the coconut sauce. Let it sit for 15–20 minutes to absorb.

  5. Slice mangoes while rice is resting.

  6. Serve sticky rice with mango slices, drizzled with the remaining coconut sauce.

  7. Garnish with sesame seeds and mint if desired.

Notes

  • Use glutinous rice, not regular white rice, for authentic texture.

  • Make sure mangoes are ripe and fragrant for the best flavor.

 

  • You can prepare coconut sauce ahead of time and store it in the fridge.
