McCormick Ranch is the most family-dense corner of Scottsdale, and for years its dessert options were franchise freezer cases. Chef Christopher Collins opened this candy-colored counter in 2017, churning ice cream daily in small batches from Arizona dairy and baking the pies, bars and cookies from scratch.
Ask what was made today — the pie-based flavors are the house specialty. The frosty floats are the order adults pretend they didn’t come for, and the wall of candy by the scoop is how the kids get home quietly.
When to go: weekday evenings, ahead of the dinner crowd. It doesn’t open until 3:30 PM on weekdays and noon on weekends, so this is not a lunch stop.
