Thai Sweet Sticky Rice With Mango (Khao Neeo Mamuang)

I'm dying to visit the magical country of Thailand and take advantage of the variety of experiences it offers--fabulous beaches, mystical mountains, delicious cuisine, and of course, the lively and exciting city of Bangkok. In honor of this must-see destination, I make this delicious dessert at home.
