Tropical Delight: Irresistible Coconut Mango Sticky Rice Cups

Learn how to make delicious Coconut Mango Sticky Rice Cups. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

To make these delightful cups, you’ll need a few simple ingredients that you can easily find at your local grocery store. Here’s what you need:

  • 1 cup glutinous rice
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

If you can’t find glutinous rice, you can substitute with jasmine rice, although the texture will be slightly different. And if fresh mangoes aren’t available, canned mango slices can be a decent alternative in a pinch.

Instructions

Creating these delightful cups is straightforward and fun. Here’s how to make them:

  1. Start by rinsing the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and ensures a perfect texture.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
  3. In a separate saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Warm over low heat until the sugar has dissolved completely.
  4. Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and pour the coconut milk mixture over it. Stir well to coat all the rice. Cover the saucepan and let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the rice to absorb the coconut milk.
  5. Spoon the sticky rice into small cups or ramekins, packing it down gently. Top each cup with diced mango and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
  6. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Remember, the key is to have fun and enjoy the process. Don’t worry if it’s not picture-perfect; it’s all about the taste and the love you put into it.
