1. Toast the shredded coconut and chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes until lightly golden. Transfer to a plate to cool.

2. Let the reduced-fat cream cheese and goat cheese soften at room temperature for 10 minutes.

3. Beat the cream cheese, goat cheese and ground cinnamon in a bowl until smooth and evenly combined.

4. Line a small bowl with plastic wrap. Spread half the cheese mixture evenly over the bottom of the bowl.

5. Spread the whole berry cranberry sauce over the cheese layer, then top with the remaining cheese mixture and smooth the surface.

6. Fold the plastic wrap over the top and chill for at least 2 hours until firm.

7. Unmold the torta onto a serving plate and remove the plastic wrap. Press the toasted coconut and pecans onto the top and sides.

8. Drizzle the honey over the top just before serving.
