Mango Sticky Rice Pudding Cups

A delightful Thai-inspired dessert featuring creamy coconut sticky rice topped with sweet, ripe mango, served in individual pudding cups for easy enjoyment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup glutinous (sticky) rice
  • 1 ½ cups coconut milk
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds or mung beans (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Drain the rice and steam it in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth for about 20–25 minutes or until tender.
  3. While the rice steams, heat the coconut milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar and salt, stirring until dissolved. Do not boil.
  4. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and pour about 1 cup of the sweetened coconut milk over it. Mix well, cover, and let it sit for 20–30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  5. Prepare individual pudding cups by spooning the sticky rice into the bottom of each cup.
  6. Top with sliced mango and drizzle with additional coconut milk. Garnish with sesame seeds or mung beans if desired.
  7. Chill for 10–15 minutes before serving or enjoy at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use only glutinous or sticky rice for the right texture.
  • Choose ripe, fragrant mangoes for best flavor.
  • You can adjust the sugar level in the coconut milk to your taste.
