Black rice with coconut cream and mango is an exotic, good-looking dessert with roots in Southeast Asian cooking. It combines the natural sweetness of ripe mango with the nutty note of black rice and the creamy texture of coconut cream. Black rice, also known as "forbidden rice" because it was once reserved for the royal family of China, is rich in antioxidants and turns deep purple when cooked.The warm, lightly sweetened rice topped with cool, fresh mango and velvety coconut cream offers a range of textures and flavors, from sweet to slightly salty. Serve it as a dessert for a special occasion or as a sweet finish after a hearty main course.
Ingredients
For the black rice:
- 1 cup black sticky rice (soaked overnight in water)
- 2 cups water
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
For the coconut cream:
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
For serving:
- 2 ripe mangoes
- Sesame seeds or chopped pistachios for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the rice: Drain the soaked black rice and put it in a pot with 2 cups of fresh water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer covered for 30-40 minutes, until the rice is tender and the water has been fully absorbed.
- Sweeten the rice: Mix the sugar into the cooked rice and stir well until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside and keep warm.
- Make the coconut cream: Warm the coconut milk, sugar and salt in a small pot over medium heat. Stir until the sugar and salt have fully dissolved, then take off the heat and let cool.
- Prepare the mangoes: Peel the mangoes and cut them into thin slices.
- Serve: Divide the warm black rice among dessert plates. Top with fresh mango slices and pour the coconut cream generously over them. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped pistachios if you like.
