This Mango Rice Pudding is so creamy, luxurious and absolutely terrific! It is one of the tastiest desserts to make using fresh mango. Made in an instant pot with just 5 ingredients, it is inspired by Asian mango sago.
This mango rice pudding is inspired from mango sago, which is a popular Asian dessert made with ripe mangoes, tapioca pearls aka sago, coconut milk, and sugar.
It is sweet, creamy, served chilled and makes a tasty mango dessert using fresh ripe summer mangoes, like the mango mug cake.
I swapped out tapioca pearls or sago for rice, to create a delicious dessert that's easy to make with basic pantry staples. It's the kind of sweet treat you'll crave all summer! Check out more summer recipe ideas.

How to serve?
When it's time to enjoy the tropical rice pudding, add your favorite toppings and serve it chilled! My top picks are additional diced mangoes, chopped pistachios or toasted almonds, and a garnish of fresh mint leaves for an eye-catching finish, like I showcase in the mango mousse recipe.
How to store?
Keep leftovers stored in the fridge where they will stay good for 2 to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Leave overnight in the fridge to thaw.
Helpful tips
- Use sweet mango - Select a sweet ripe mango for the best tasting recipe.
- Cardamom - Use freshly ground cardamom instead of store bought cardamom powder.
