Instructions
- Step 1: Rinse 1 cup glutinous sticky rice under cold water until water runs clear. Soak the rice in 1 1/4 cups water for at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Step 2: Drain the rice and steam it in a bamboo steamer or a fine mesh sieve set over boiling water for 20-25 minutes until tender and translucent.
- Step 3: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup full-fat coconut milk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and mixture is warm but not boiling.
- Step 4: Transfer the hot cooked sticky rice to a bowl and immediately pour 3/4 cup of the warm coconut milk mixture over it. Stir gently and let the rice absorb the coconut milk for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Step 5: To serve, place portions of sticky rice on plates, arrange 2 peeled and sliced ripe mangoes alongside, and drizzle with remaining coconut milk mixture. Add 1/4 cup chilled coconut cream on top and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds for garnish. Serve chilled for a perfect summer dessert.
