Mango sticky rice (Khao Niaow Ma Muang)

The classic Thai dessert known as khao niaow ma muang (mango sticky rice) is heavenly and scrumptious. It is famously served as street food in Thailand and at Thai restaurants throughout the world. This dessert is made with just four ingredients: cooked glutinous rice, cooked sticky rice, coconut milk, and sugar.

The cooked rice is flavored with coconut milk, which is also drizzled on top as a sauce. This recipe can be made healthy by using unsweetened coconut milk and little to no added sugar. Both vitamin A and beta-carotene are found in mangoes. 10% of the DV for vitamin A is found in one cup (165g) of pitted mangoes. Vitamin A supports healthy eyes, skin, and immune system function and is essential for growth and development. Mangoes contain a lot of vitamin C, which strengthens the immune system. Mangoes contain 46 mg of vitamin C per cup or almost 75% of the DV.
