Yardbird's Blueberry Crumb Pie and Sweet Corn Ice Cream

Examining the Blueberry Crumb Pie with the dollop of Sweet Corn Ice Cream and perfectly floral mint leaves placed atop the pie almost became a past time as I kept looking at it in the miniature iron skillet. It looked like dessert made for the cameras!
When I finally realized that my partner had eaten a third of it, I located my dessert spoon, picked it up and tasted the pie. The blueberries were undoubtedly the star of the show as nothing overshadowed them. The crust was thin and delicate, while the blueberries contained just a bit of sweetness with a hit of cinnamon or maybe cardamon as a back note and the crumb topping didn't completely cover the pie, just a little.  Yardbird's Blueberry Crumb Pie reminded me of a Blueberry Lemon Crumb I use to prepare for dessert but there was no Sweet Corn Ice Cream.
Sweet Corn Ice Cream was smooth and sweet  without being intrusive to the blueberries while the mint leaves made you want to pick them up and inhale the entire moment. The Blueberry Crumb Pie is prepared from scratch daily.
