Preparation

Step 1 35 min

Rinse the black sticky rice thoroughly in cold water 3-4 times until the water runs clear. In a pot or rice cooker, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it steam until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 35 minutes.
Step 2 5 min

While the rice is still hot, stir in 1 cup of the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Fold the mixture until everything is combined and absorbed into a rich, deep black pudding-like texture. Keep the rice warm until ready to serve, about 5 minutes.
Step 3 10 min

In a small saucepan, gently heat the remaining coconut milk over low heat. Whisk in the black sesame paste and a tiny pinch of salt until the sauce is smooth, warm, and a consistent jet-black color, about 10 minutes.
Step 4

To serve, spoon the black sticky rice into individual serving bowls. Arrange the sliced mango on top or beside the rice.
Step 5

Drizzle the luxurious black sesame cream over the black sticky rice and mango. Serve immediately while warm.
