Heaven must be blue and crumbly. Most crumbles and crisp need vanilla ice cream, but not this on it stands on its own. In fact ice cream will actually deter from the great taste of this crisp. The hazelnuts give a nice nutty taste with out over powering the blueberries. This makes an easy six servings if you are inclined to share, although after one taste you may just want to keep it all to yourself. Thanks for the post.
