Instructions
- 1
Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
- 2
In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice and 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
~15 min - 3
While the rice is cooking, gently heat the coconut milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Do not boil.
~5 min - 4
Stir in the granulated sugar and salt into the warm coconut milk until dissolved. Remove from heat.
~2 min - 5
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl. Pour the sweetened coconut milk over the hot rice. Stir gently to combine and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes to allow the rice to absorb the liquid.
~10 min - 6
Peel and dice the ripe mangoes. In a small bowl, toss the diced mango with fresh lime juice and red chili flakes.
~5 min - 7
To assemble the parfaits, layer the sticky rice and spicy mango mixture in serving glasses. Start with a layer of sticky rice, followed by a layer of mango mixture, then repeat.
~3 min - 8
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Tips
- For an extra creamy sticky rice, use full-fat coconut milk. You can adjust the chili flakes to your spice preference.
- Serve chilled for a refreshing dessert. The parfaits can be assembled a few hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
