Mango Sticky Rice Recipe
Finally, here is a dessert recipe from Asian at Home!!
Thank you so much for being patient and waiting for my dessert recipe!
I don’t eat many sweets, so it’s natural that I don’t cook many sweets either. That’s why I don’t share sweet dessert recipes often with you. But recently I’ve been eating more sweets, I don’t know why? lol! So I have a feeling that I will be sharing more sweet recipes in the future, more often! 😉
So today, I’m going to show you how to make Thai Mango Sticky Rice.
In Asia, rice desserts are very common. In Western cuisine, bread is eaten as savory and sweet.
Personally, I love fruity desserts because they aren’t heavy or too sweet. Most of the time, they have very well-balanced flavors.
If the dessert is only sweet on sweet, I tend to get easily tired of it after one or two bites.
Salty, tangy, nutty, and bitter flavors combined well with sweetness in dessert seem perfect for my taste.
This Mango Sticky Rice has sweet, coconutty, creamy, fruity, and salty flavors.
For this recipe, you will need freshly cooked sticky rice, so be sure to check out my sticky rice recipe!
Mango Sticky Rice Ingredients
For the Salted Coconut Cream Sauce
For the Sweet Coconut Cream Mixture
- 1 cup coconut cream or 3/4cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups hot and freshly cooked sticky rice
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cut into bite sizes
- Toasted mungbean or sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- I recommend you start cooking sticky rice because you will need hot and fresh sticky rice for this recipe. (Cold or leftover sticky rice wouldn’t turn out as soft as it should.) Cooking sticky rice will take about 15 to 20 minutes, so make coconut cream sauces while the rice is cooking.
- In a saucepan, combine all ingredients for salted coconut cream sauce. Stir until the salt has dissolved. Bring it to a light simmer over medium heat (You will see small bubbles around the edges of the saucepan, and that’s all you want!), then remove from heat. Set aside.
- In another saucepan, combine all ingredients for the sweet coconut cream mixture. Whisk until sugar is dissolved. Bring it to light, simmer over medium heat, and keep it warm.
- By now, sticky rice should be done cooking, so combine it with the sweet coconut cream mixture while both are hot. Give it a good mix and cover it with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, a plate, or a steamer lid. Let it sit for 20 minutes or until the rice has absorbed the sweet coconut cream mixture completely. It shouldn’t look like porridge but sticky and creamy. Give it another mix with a spatula.
- To serve Mango Sticky Rice, first place sweet coconut rice on a plate, then peel and slice half of the mango. Pour about 2 tablespoons of salted coconut cream sauce over the rice and sprinkle with toasted mungbean or sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
I hope you guys give the delicious Mango Sticky Rice recipe a try one day!

Hi Seonkyoung!! I absolutely love all your recipes!! You are amazing! I can’t wait to try this mango sticky rice recipe as it’s one of my husband’s favorite desserts. Quick question though, why does the prep time say 8 hours??
Hi Ellen! hahaha the prep time is 8 hours because that’s how long you need to prep the sticky rice. If you see my sticky rice recipe, you will understand. (https://seonkyounglongest.com/thai-sticky-rice/) The rice needs to soak in water for over night, that’s why. I removed prep time since a lot of you guys get confused, even though it’s “prep time” not “cooking time”. Sorry for the confusion!
I made this Mango Sticky Rice yesterday. My first time ever making dessert. It’s super easy to make, and it tastes so yummy. The Sticky Rice a bit sweet, I will put a little less sugar next time for me, but if you love sweet. That’s perfect for you. I recomend for everyone to try making it. Thank you.
What type of mung bean did you use? I tried it with some split mung bean from the market but it was just hard and inedible. Not fluffy like rice crispy like I remember in Thailand
They need to soak in the water, dry completely and then deep fry, if want the fluffy texture
