This mango sticky rice is a creamy sweet and fresh delicious Thai dessert combining warm coconut sticky rice and a fresh slice of mango. This recipe is vegan.
If you ever heard about kheer or rice pudding then you'll know that rice can be a dessert ingredient. However Thai sticky rice takes a desert to a whole new level. Combine with sweet coconut milk sauce and fresh mango.
I want to clarify here something that traditionally in Thai sticky mango rice they use glutinous rice but I used here normal basmati rice and I found this recipe is still tasty and super yummy with basmati rice also.
So next time if you want to try this recipe without a glutinous recipe please go ahead and use basmati rice.
They used glutinous rice coz glutinous rice has a delicious sticky and almost sushi rice style texture. which soak up the coconut milk sauce to become deliciously gooey.
But I found basmati rice also make delicious and they also soak coconut milk sauce very well and together it gave such amazing delicious flavor. Meanwhile, the fresh mango slice cut through the richness of the rice and coconut milk. Overall these dessert appeals to those wanting something light and still delish.
Plus this sweet rice recipe is something I make multiple times. especially during summer times.
