Mango Rice

Right before leaving Pittsburgh we at dinner with friends at a Thai restaurant. A mango rice dessert was on the menu and was fabulous. I had tucked that little bit of information away to look for a recipe when I had the chance. And there is was! In the thin little recipe book that came with my New Zealand rice cooker (my old rice cooker has the wrong electrical voltage and sadly I couldn’t bring it along). This recipe seemed similar to the dish we ate in Pittsburgh. I made it and it was an immediate hit with Dear Younger Daughter who had two bowlfuls. I hope your family enjoys it as well.

1 ¾ cups short grain rice
1 ½ cups mango nectar
1 cup water
¾ cup coconut cream
1-2 mangos (peaches, bananas, cantaloupe will also work)
1 tbsp cinnamon sugar (sugar with cinnamon tossed in)

Place rice, mango nectar and water into rice cooker and cook.
When rice if finished cooking, add coconut cream.
Place in serving bowls, top with mangos (or other fruit) and cinnamon sugar.
