Combine the icing sugar and coconut and stir until well blended. Arrange alternating layers of fruits in individual serving dishes or in a large serving bowl. Sprinkle each layer with part of the coconut mixture, reserving some for the top. Pour a little orange juice on the top, add a garnish if desired, and chill well before serving.
