There are a couple of reviews that give "corrections" to this recipe. As suggested, I used 1 quart of milk and only 1/2 cup of sugar and left the rest the same, although it did take about 20 - 25 minutes to incorporate the milk. After that, I would say this was DELICIOUS! Even my husband who doesn't like sweets very much loved it. As suggested, we also put cranberries on top. Yummm!

Without reading the reviews, I knew that was far too much milk. However, it is a good thing you all gave advice because it was very helpful.
I just made this and omitted the orange as I loved the flavor of the vanilla bean and cinnamon. Put it is custard cups and they are thickening right now.
Tastewise, it is really good. Just hoping they continue to get a bit thicker.
BTW, I simmered the rice/milk for about 15 minutes...it needed more time.

Havingseen the episode for this recipe I decided to give this a try. I've learned my leasson from past attempts at Tyler's recipe and came by the site to read the reviews. There definitely is a major mix-up, but if you go by the revised recipe that some have posted you'll be just fine. Just remember to resist the temptation to add more rice. The stated mixture is just fine and once you place this in the fridge after cooking it will thicken-up just fine.
I made this today and the flavor is excellent, Top with some whipped cream and a cherry and you've got a great, tasty treat.
