Okay so I am sitting in my bed, Gilmore Girls is on the TV (Yes life is perfect at this moment) and I just have to share my new favorite dessert of which I am currently consuming! Mango Sticky rice is a new recipe that I am shamelessly exploiting. My roommate McCall is the source of this new addiction, meaning the jury is still out on whether to strangle her or hug her. Regardless I probably should count the calories in this compared to the calories in my favorite Tillamook Peanut Butter Chocolate ice cream, but what can I say, ignorance is indeed bliss! So here is the recipe, try it you won't be sorry.
Easy Mango Sticky Rice
2 cups cooked- steamed rice
1 can Coconut Milk
1 cup sugar
1 ripe mango
I usually just start the rice in my rice cooker. Then about half way through the cook time of the rice I get started on the sauce. Over low to medium heat combine the coconut milk and the cup of sugar in a sauce pan. Heat until rolling, foamy boil, whisking periodically to avoid burning the bottom of your sauce pan. Take off of heat after it's been heated through. When the steamed rice is done combine the two cups of cooked rice and the coconut milk while both are still hot. Cover and let sit for a full thirty minutes at room temperature. Peel and dice the ripe mango into small edible sized pieces. Add to the rice. I usually have a few spoonfuls right there, it's great at that temp. But It's my favorite after it's been in the fridge for a while. That is why it's my favorite dessert which doubles as a breakfast. Hee hee! Enjoy!
