Mango Sticky Rice

Warm sticky rice, cold mango, and a spoonful of coconut cream that soaks in before you get to the fruit.

• Sticky rice, steamed and still warm.
• Coconut cream, salted just enough.
• Ripe mango, cut to order.
• Toasted sesame scattered over the top.

The rice is steamed the traditional way, then folded through coconut cream so every grain turns silky, not wet. The mango goes on cold, which is the whole point: warm against cold, sweet against the faint salt in the cream. It is a Central Thai dessert, and this one stays close to that. Contains: dairy, sesame.
