This Tropical Coconut Mango Bliss recipe combines sweet coconut rice with fresh mango and a creamy drizzle, creating a deliciously unique dessert inspired by traditional flavors.
Ingredients
1 cup glutinous rice
1.5 cups water
2 cups coconut milk
1.5 cups sugar
a pinch salt
as needed tapioca starch
2 pieces fresh mango
to taste sesame seeds
Method
Start by gathering all the ingredients you'll need for this delightful dish.
In a medium-sized pot, combine the rice and water. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then cover the pot and lower the heat. Let it simmer gently until all the water is absorbed, which typically takes around 15 to 20 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, take another pot and blend together 1.5 cups of coconut milk, 1 cup of sugar, and a dash of salt. Heat this mixture over medium heat until it boils, then take it off the heat and set it aside to cool slightly.
Once the rice is perfectly cooked, mix it into the coconut milk blend. Cover the pot and allow it to cool for about an hour, giving the flavors a chance to develop.
For the drizzle, mix 0.5 cups of coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, a pinch of salt, and a bit of tapioca starch in a small saucepan. Heat it over low heat, stirring continuously until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Now, serve the coconut rice on a beautiful platter and layer the fresh mango slices on top. Drizzle the thick coconut sauce generously over the dish.
To add the finishing touch, sprinkle some sesame seeds over the mango and rice for a crunchy texture.
