METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan forced). Place macadamias, almond meal and coconut in the pan and toast for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid edges catching. Transfer nuts and coconut to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add rice malt syrup and process until mixture comes together. Set aside to cool.
2. Combine yoghurt, coconut cream and icing sugar in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth.
3. Combine berries, lemon juice and sugar in a small food processor and pulse to a rough puree.
4. Layer yoghurt mixture and berry puree in alternate layers in shot glasses, leaving a 1cm gap at top. Insert a paddle pop stick into the centre of each and freeze for 5 hours or until set. Press crumble on top of ice creams, around paddle pop sticks. Freeze for a further hour.
5. To remove ice creams from moulds, dip half way into a bowl of boiling water and use stick to twist out. Alternatively, sit ice creams at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly.

TIP - Ice creams can be made up to one week in advance and kept frozen.
