Sweet Sticky Mango Coconut Rice







     Sticky Rice and Mango will forever hold a special place in my heart.  One Spring Break my daughters and I went to China and then onto Thialand.  While in Bangkok we had our first experience with this amazing treat.  So when ever I think of this dessert, I can not help but feel the taste of love and warmth that surround each and every bite. This time of year Whole Foods will get in one of the sweetest varieties of mangos, the Ataulfo (aht-ah-uhi-foe) only recently gained popularity in the United States.  It has a smooth, creamy flesh, a small thin pit and holds the title of many people's favorite variety of mango.  Scoot over Basketball, now there is mango madness in march too!!

1 cup Rice
1 cup Light Coconut Milk
1/2 cup Coconut Sugar
