This recipe was WAY too lemony and grainy. I did not read all the reviews before making and the flavors were simply not balanced. I would try it again though and do the juice and zest of one lemon to see if there is any improvement.

Skipped the lemon juice altogether and simply used the zest of two lemons. Substituted Splenda for the sugar and 5% cream for the whipping cream. Consistency was still perfect and flavour was lovely! Thus far, my favourite rice pudding recipe!

TOO lemony - I didn't read the reviews until now - so, I put zest & juice from 3 lemons as the recipe states! I think it just needs zest & juice from 1 lemon because it went a bit 'curdley' & lumpy at the end. I think I'll make it again but just make it as a regular vanilla rice pudding & not put any lemon in at all - the lemon flavor ruined it for me.

Delicious! I also did as the below poster and used the juice of one lemon & the zest of two. It thickens very quickly towards the very end & needs to be stirred. The results were the best rice pudding I have ever made, I am a huge fan of lemons & almonds and I made this for dessert with the Roasted Branzino w/Lemon. I would even enjoy this for breakfast!

AMAZING, i did heed the warnings below and only used juice of 1 lemon and zest of 2. i could live on this its so good! I used Meyer lemons. The rice is cooked uncovered the whole time! that will make a difference in consistency of the recipe, the moisture escapes at it simmers, unlike regular rice recipes that you cover. Stir often towards the end and especially after adding the amaretto and lemon. It thickens quickly. I am passing this on to my friends!

After watching this show today, my daughter and I decided to make this for dessert, we were very excited, but then very disappointed. I didn't read the reviews before hand, and I've come across other recipes posted incorrectly. Too much lemon juice and zest, and it was very grainy. I'm not sure what I did to make it grainy, maybe just too much lemon juice? Used Almond extract and that was ok. I'll try it again, and adjust the lemon.

ALERT! This recipe is WRONG! If you watch the show Giada uses the zest of TWO lemons and the juice of just ONE lemon. This is a wonderful recipe. It's too bad whoever is responsible for putting it on line can't get it right! This isn't the first time this has happened with a recipe on Food Network.

I made this but changed a few things and it turned out yummy. The first thing i did was made homemade whip cream out of powdered milk, lemon juice, water and sugar. Instead of amaretto I used almond extract and vanilla extract because I didn't a vanilla bean. I also cooked the rice and milk mixture for 45 minutes. This had alot of flavor. :

Been Cuban I doubled the sugar! I have to agree with everyone else in reducing the lemon to half. Also cook a little longer to make it have more consistency and add both the milk/cream together instead of cooking them apart. The rest...enjoy!

I don't usually eat/make rice pudding but I like rice and this recipe sounded good. I too found this recipe a little strong on the lemon, which I would have cut back if I had read the reviews before hand. The final product was a little runny, it never really set up, and it was grainy. After reading comments, I think I either didn't cook long enough or possibly added the lemon juice too quickly. We'll see what happens next time.
