Mango Sticky Rice
Sweet Thai dessert of coconut sticky rice with fresh ripe mango
By RecipesQueen Kitchen • June 10, 2026
Mango sticky rice is Thailand's most beloved dessert — warm, coconut-infused sticky rice paired with slices of perfectly ripe mango.
Use glutinous (sweet) rice, not regular rice. Soak it overnight for the best texture.
The coconut sauce is key — sweet, salty, and rich. Pour it over the warm rice and let it absorb before serving with mango.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups glutinous (sticky) rice, soaked overnight
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 large ripe mangoes, sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- 1
Steam soaked rice in a steamer basket for 20-25 minutes until tender and sticky.

Heat coconut milk with sugar and salt until dissolved. Reserve 1/4 cup for drizzling.
- 3
Pour the larger portion of coconut sauce over the hot rice. Stir and let absorb 10 minutes.
- 4
