Thai Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango - 7/12/08
When mangoes are in season this is the perfect dessert to serve. The mangoes go so well with the sweet sticky rice and a doll up of coconut cream. This is a sweet treat that everyone seems to absolutely love, just make sure the mangoes are nice and ripe, and the flesh should be bright and yellow.

I love the combination of sweet sticky rice, Mangoes, and coconut cream. This dessert is so good.
|
 |
I use "Kent" mango for this dessert. Kent Mangoes are one of the best varieties available in the States. Known for their fiber-less meat, they are often misjudged as being green because they don't show as much color as other varieties when ripe. |
Preparation work..
|
Ingredients for this simple dessert, Sugar, Mangoes, coconut cream, and Sticky rice. |
Here I am bringing the sweet rice
soaked in water and a touch of salt to a boil. Once the water is
boiled, the heat is reduced to low and then I put a lid on the pot and I
let it simmer for 30 minutes or more until all the liquid is gone and the
rice is cooked. |
|
Coconut cream and sugar is added to the cooked rice to give it a rich and sweet taste. |
Here I am making the coconut cream. Coconut cream, sugar and pinch of salt is added and then I bring the mixture to a boil. |
|
Once the mixture is boiled, corn starch is added to mixture so the consistency becomes thick. |
Here I am pouring the coconut cream into a small bowl. |
