Limoncello Cream Pie
After a big Christmas dinner, we love the cool refreshment of a frozen lemon pie. Limoncello brings a little sophistication to each smooth, creamy slice. —Jessie Grearson-Sapat, Falmouth, Maine

Ingredients
1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
1/3 cup lemon curd, divided
3 tablespoons limoncello
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

1/4 cup marshmallow creme
Grated lemon zest, optional

Directions
In a large bowl, combine ice cream, half of the lemon curd and all of the limoncello and lemon zest. Spoon into crust. Freeze, covered, several hours or overnight.
In a microwave, heat chocolate with 1/4 cup cream at 70% power until melted; stir until smooth. Set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, beat remaining cream until soft peaks form. Beat in marshmallow creme. Fold in remaining curd. With a spatula, fold half of the cream mixture into cooled chocolate mixture just until blended. Fold in remaining cream mixture; spread or pipe over top of pie. Freeze, covered, 1 hour.
Remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving. If desired, top with lemon peel.

This roly-poly omelet is a new way to do eggs for brunch. Want different veggies? You can substitute 2 cups of any type you like. When I'm cooking for gluten-free friends, I leave out the flour and the spiral rolls up a-OK. —Debbie Morris, Hamilton, Ohio

Ingredients
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup 2% milk
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
12 large eggs
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 large green pepper, chopped
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 small onion, chopped
1-1/4 teaspoons Italian seasoning, divided
1-1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 plum tomato, seeded and chopped

Directions
Preheat oven to 375°. Line bottom and sides of a greased 15x10x1-in. pan with parchment; grease paper.
Beat cream cheese until soft; gradually beat in milk. Beat in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and flour. In a large bowl, beat eggs until blended. Add cream cheese mixture; mix well. Pour into prepared pan. Bake until set, 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; saute pepper, mushrooms and onion until crisp-tender, 3-4 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Keep warm.
Remove omelet from oven; top immediately with mozzarella, tomato and pepper mixture. Starting with a short side, roll up omelet jelly-roll style, lifting with the parchment and removing it as you roll. Transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.
