Uptown Plaza in Phoenix continues its transformation with the latest — and sweetest — addition: Creamistry,

The ice cream store is set to open on Monday, July 11, next to the new Lou Malnati's Pizzeria at Central Avenue and Camelback Road. The sweet shop, a California-based franchise founded by a former Arizona Cardinals player, serves made-to-order liquid nitrogen ice cream. In celebration, Creamistry is offering specials throughout July at the new location:

July 18-21 : Buy one ice cream treat, get one of equal or lesser value free.

: Buy one ice cream treat, get one of equal or lesser value free. July 22: Half of sales proceeds will go to Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

Half of sales proceeds will go to Phoenix Children’s Hospital. July 23: Receive a free single ice cream dessert from noon to 2 p.m.

Creamistry, which opened recently at Scottsdale Waterfront, also is coming to Scottsdale Quarter later this summer. The company is the brainchild of Ryan Zeleznak and Andre Wadsworth, a former Cardinal and co-founder of Impact Church in Scottsdale.

Part of Creamistry's fun is watching your ice cream being made: liquid nitrogen is infused into the cream base, freezing rapidly and creating a smooth dessert. For the cream base, you can select organic milk, coconut milk, non-dairy sorbet or Greek yogurt.

Meanwhile, flavor choices range from such classics as Madagascar vanilla and sea salt caramel to birthday cake cheesecake and matcha green tea. More than 70 toppings are available, including Nutella sauce, freshly baked brownie bits and mochi. Shakes, floats and waffle bowls are among other specialties.

Creamistry joins a number of newer restaurants in Uptown Plaza, including:
