Nothing screams summer more than a cold scoop of ice cream – especially in this heat! When you walk into Churn, a sign proclaims “No phony stuff,” and it’s more than just lip service. Every flavor is made with 10 ingredients or less, none with artificial flavors. Each ingredient is first cooked together fresh daily and chilled, then the mixture goes into a U.S.-made, state-of-the-art ice cream maker, which must be set to 150-160 revolutions per minute to create a rich, creamy flavor. Too few, you have ice. Too many, you have butter. Summer flavors incorporate lemon zest, sea salt, harvested blueberries and even soda water for an extra pop. Churn, 5223 N. Central Ave, Phoenix; 602.279.8024; www.churnaz.com.
