I have tried other Cauliflower Rice Risottos and while they taste great, the consistency isn't the same as REAL risotto. I made a batch tonight and it turned out so good! However, I'm not absolutely certain of the some of the quantities of the ingredients listed. So you may need a little more cream or cheese. If you used orange cheddar, it would probably taste the same, but not "look" like risotto!
