Coconut Sticky Rice with Mango & Strawberries

[meganleewelch]

This is one of those desserts that looks really impressive yet takes hardly any work at all - seriously! Most restaurants charge $6 or more for one serving but all you need are four basic ingredients, plus some fruit, and you have yourself one fancy looking treat for a fraction of the cost.

Not a huge fan of coconut, but I do like coconut milk (yeah, odd I know) and I think this has to be tried. Thank you

that looks delicious.

Definitely something to try! Strawberries aren't in season here, though, so maybe with another kind of fruit...

Great photos! I have a similar recipe that I bring out whenever I need something simple that will knock peoples' socks off.

May I recommend experimenting with a little finely crushed lemongrass? I have a large bottle of it, dried and finely crushed, and I'm always looking for ways to incorporate it. I was really amazed at the extra dimension of flavor it added to the sweet coconut sauce. I don't know how it would fare with a sweet and salty version, but might be worth a try!

Thanks for sharing! :)
