Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 2

    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. 3

    Shape sticky rice into small logs or use a mold. Arrange on plates with mango slices alongside.

  4. 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. 5

    Sprinkle sesame seeds over the custard. Serve immediately while the custard is warm and the rice is fresh.
