- 11 cup glutinous rice
- 21 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 36 tablespoons sugar
- 41/2 teaspoon salt
- 52 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
- 63 egg yolks
- 71/4 cup coconut cream
- 82 tablespoons sugar (for custard)
- 9Pinch of salt (for custard)
- 10Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- 1
Soak glutinous rice 4 hours or overnight. Steam over boiling water for 25 minutes until fully cooked and translucent. Fold in a mixture of coconut milk, sugar, and salt while hot. Cover and rest 15 minutes.

Make coconut custard: whisk egg yolks, coconut cream, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Cook in a double boiler or over very low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened to a flowing custard consistency that coats a spoon, about 8 minutes. Do not let it boil or the eggs will scramble.
- 3
Shape sticky rice into small logs or use a mold. Arrange on plates with mango slices alongside.
- 4
Drizzle the warm coconut custard over the rice (not the mango). The coconut custard is richer and more custardy than the traditional coconut cream topping — a special variation.
- 5
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the custard. Serve immediately while the custard is warm and the rice is fresh.
