Read The Recipe Before You Start

I did not read this recipe before I planned on having it for dessert. I had people coming, so I did my best.

The crumble has a great flavor. The butter, which makes everything better, combines well with the brown sugar and pecans. It has a nice rich flavor.

Instead of packing the ice cream on top and freezing it, I formed the ice cream on top of the crumble. This worked well enough.

I think the recipe as called for would have made an ice cream sandwich result. As I made it, it was similar, just not hard set.

The blueberries are of course super easy. Really all you have to do is open the jar. Having them heated is very nice though.

Overall, even though I made it wrong, the dessert was lovely. I would like to try again following the recipe!
