This rich and creamy dessert is especially nice for company. It's attractive and easy to serve, and much of it can be made ahead of time. The citrus flavor is refreshing after a full-course meal.

Tip

About Macadamia Nuts

The macadamia nut tree originated in Queensland, Australia and was brought to Hawaii in 1882. Today, virtually all of the world's macadamias are grown on the Big Island. It takes about 7 years for a macadamia to bear fruit, making the nut an in-demand delicacy. It takes 300 pounds of pressure per square inch to crack the shell of the macadamia, making it one of the hardest of all nuts to crack open. Because of that, macadamia nuts are mostly sold shelled.

I thought it looked wrong too but looked again and it only calls for 3 oz packages. The cream cheese in my frig now is 8 oz.

Is the amount of cream cheese correct here? Sounds like a pkg of cream cheese for each serving.
