Let’s Make it together
Prepare the Sticky Rice: Start by soaking 1 cup of glutinous rice in water overnight. This helps achieve that perfect chewy consistency we love.
Cook the Sticky Rice: Drain the soaked rice and steam it using a bamboo steamer or a pot with a steaming basket lined with cheesecloth. Steam for about 20-25 minutes until tender.
Create Coconut Sauce: In a saucepan over low heat, combine 1 cup of coconut milk with ½ cup of sugar and a pinch of salt. Stir until dissolved but don’t boil; you want it warm and inviting.
Mix Coconut Sauce with Sticky Rice: Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and pour about half of your coconut sauce over it. Mix gently until fully incorporated; let it sit so it absorbs all those delightful flavors.
Prepare Mangoes: While everything cools down, peel and slice 2 ripe mangoes into thin strips or cubes. Aim for vibrant colors to make your cups visually appealing.
Assemble Your Ice Cream Cups: In small cups or bowls, layer some sticky rice at the bottom followed by mango slices. Drizzle remaining coconut sauce on top and finish with toasted sesame seeds or coconut flakes if desired.
Enjoy your Mango Sticky Rice Ice Cream Cups as they are or freeze them for an extra chill factor!
