Preparation

1. Ingredients:


2. 8 ounces reduced fat cream cheese, at room temperature
3. ½ cup (1 stick butter), at room temperature
4. 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
5. 3/4 cup powdered sugar
6. 2 tablespoons brown sugar
7. 1 cup white chocolate chips, divided
8. 1 cup macadamia nuts, toasted, roughly chopped and divided
9. 1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes, toasted
10. Vanilla wafers and fresh fruit


11. Directions:


12. Cream together cream cheese, butter and vanilla in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time, adding brown sugar in the last batch. Add 3/4 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup macadamia nuts then mix until combined.


13. Scoop mixture onto a large sheet of plastic wrap (may need to use 2 overlapping sheets) then form into a ball. Freeze for 2 hours or until firm enough to hold its shape. Mix together remaining chocolate chips, macadamia nuts, and coconut flakes in a large, shallow dish then remove ball from plastic wrap and roll to completely cover. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve, then serve with vanilla wafers and fresh fruit on a platter.
