We’ve reached that time of year in Tucson where even thinking about trying to stay cool will make you break a sweat.

The heat is on.

Thankfully, there are those among us dedicated to getting us through.

Ice cream, gelato and yogurt shops dot the city. New and innovative frozen treats seem to pop up daily.

If the summer sun is driving you to the brink, we say, chill out. Let it go.

Some of Tucson’s latest in shiver-inducing sweets are only a car ride away.
