When life gives you mangoes—make magic. Especially when they’re sweet, fragrant Thai mangoes, known for their buttery texture and floral aroma. Whether you’re new to Thai mangoes or a lifelong fan, here are 5 creative (and tasty) ways to enjoy them.
The Classic: Mango Sticky Rice (Khao Niew Mamuang)
Nothing beats the iconic Thai dessert: ripe mangoes served with warm, coconut-infused sticky rice and a drizzle of sweet coconut cream.
Tip: Use glutinous rice and steam it until tender. Pair it with Nam Dok Mai mangoes for the perfect balance of sweet and fragrant.
Thai Mango Smoothie (Perfect for Hot Days!)
Blend ripe mangoes with ice, coconut milk, and a touch of honey for a smoothie that’s tropical and refreshing.
Mango Salsa – A Tangy Twist
Dice mangoes and mix with chopped red onions, coriander, lime juice, and a dash of chili. Serve it with tortilla chips or grilled fish.
Mango Ice Cream or Sorbet
Homemade mango sorbet? Super easy. Blend mango flesh with sugar and a squeeze of lime, freeze it, and enjoy.
Pro tip: If you have an ice cream maker, churn it for an ultra-smooth texture.
Mango Parfait or Chia Pudding for Breakfast
Layer mango chunks with granola, yogurt, or chia pudding for a nutritious breakfast or snack.
Why tots love it: It’s colourful, creamy, and naturally sweet—like dessert for breakfast (but healthier!).
