Hello fellow ice cream afficionados! Sue here, co-author of the blog, road-trip navigator and lover of all things chocolate. It’s taken us a little while to get rolling, but we’re happy to announce the ice cream chasing has begun! While we try to get the whole group together for our ice cream ventures, unfortunately schedules sometimes clash. So our first stop, Urban Churn, was accomplished in two different visits.
On a lovely Saturday afternoon, veteran chasers Danaca, Carrie and I were joined by our new chasers, Jess and Jamie, and their chasers-in-training Jaxon and Kya (who are the cutest ice cream loving twins in the ‘Burg!). Now don’t let that new chaser title fool you – Jess and Jamie may be new to our Pursue Your Scoops adventures, but they are ice cream lovers from way back!
The seven of us piled into Urban Churn, which is located in midtown Harrisburg. Urban Churn prides itself on making ice cream the old-fashioned way, but doing it with new and fun flavor combinations. The day of our first visit, some of the featured flavors included Bourbon Vanilla, Marshmallow, and Lemon-Thyme-Feta. Between the group of us, we covered most of the flavors they had, and all were delighted.
I had a scoop of the Bourbon Vanilla and a scoop of Salted Caramel, which complemented each other well. Danaca, one of the more food-adventurous members of the group, tried the Lemon-Thyme-Feta and said it was uniquely cheesy. When asked how she liked the marshmallow, Kya gave me an ice cream covered smile and head nod. I think she didn’t want to say anything and risk any of that creamy sweetness escaping from her mouth!
Stay tuned for Urban Churn Part 2!
