Pinky Swear started as porch pop-ups where a secondhand churn met a street full of kids. Seven years later it is a truck, a creamery on Grove Street and a line.

A recipe card and a yard-sale churn.

Rosa Delgado learned custard from her grandmother’s recipe cards. Ben Harper fixed old machines for a living. They met when he repaired the churn she bought at a yard sale in 2018.

Her name is Sprinkles.

A 1964 ice cream truck with new freezers inside and the original chime on the roof. She is slow on hills, she draws a crowd and she scoops for 250 people in two hours.
