Gingered Orange Cheesecake Ball recipe

1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel)
1/2 cup butter (no substitutes)
1/3 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons finely shredded orange peel
1 tablespoon orange juice
2 teaspoons very finely chopped crystallized ginger
3 tablespoons toasted coconut
3 tablespoons finely chopped toasted macadamia nuts
Fresh fruit, such as pear slices, apple slices, pineapple
    wedges, star fruit slices, strawberries
Toasted pound cake slices and/or shortbread cookies

Combine cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, orange peel and orange juice in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed about 30 seconds or until combined. Stir in ginger. Line a 1 1/2- to 2-cup mold with plastic wrap. Carefully spoon in cheese mixture, pressing gently; spread top to smooth it. Cover and chill for 3 to 24 hours.

To serve, invert mold onto a serving platter; remove plastic wrap. Top with nuts and coconut.
