Thai Black Sticky Rice Dessert 

To make the black sticky rice:

• 1 cup Thai black sticky rice
• 2 1/4 cup water
• 3 tablespoons coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons sugar

For the Mango Version:

• 1/3 cup condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 mangos peeled and diced (preferably golden mangoes, if you can get your hands on some)
• 1 cup shaved ice
• vanilla ice cream

Rinse the Thai black rice and soak overnight in 2 1/4 cups of water. Pour the rice and the water it was soaking in into a rice cooker and add coconut milk and sugar. Stir everything together and turn on the rice cooker. This will likely look pretty grody when raw, but once it’s done, you’ll never look back. Set aside the rice to cool when your rice cooker chirps the signal that it’s done!

To make the mango dessert, combine the condensed milk, milk, and vanilla.  Add a big scoop of sticky rice to 2 bowls, and top each bowl with a handful of shaved ice and diced mango. Pour the vanilla sauce over everything and top each bowl with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You can also layer everything in a glass to make it a bit prettier.
