As the mercury rises, it’s prime time to indulge in chilled treats. Here, five of our favorite new spots to cool off with freshly churned scoops, fruit-studded paletas, and boozy shakes. —PATRICIA KAOWTHUMRONG & ALLYSON REEDY
HEAVEN CREAMERY Cherry Creek, RiNo, Centennial, and Lakewood

Martha Trillo’s Heaven Creamery unites the frozen dessert cultures of Mexico, Italy, and the United States under one roof. The Chihuahua native studied with makers in Mexico and Italy to perfect her paletas (fruit-forward popsicles) and gelato, respectively, before bringing her talents in 2020 to the Denver area, where she has already expanded her empire to four shops. In April, the latest debuted in a brightly lit, blue-and-white-walled space in Lakewood’s Belmar shopping district. At every Heaven location, patrons can enjoy a rainbow of creambased and nondairy vegan flavors (crafted with Trillo’s lactose-intolerant daughter in mind), all of which are light on sugar and heavy on fresh produce. Try the spicy pineapple-chile paletas, a cup of raspberry dark chocolate gelato, or a sundae loaded with sliced bananas and kiwis, caramel sauce, and whipped cream.
