DROOL: XO Ice Cream & Waffles

Waffle no longer

If you live in the south, it’s no longer necessary to head downtown for excellent small-batch ice cream. Darren and Melanie Sortland launched XO Ice Cream and Waffles in Auburn Bay and now churn up flavours like strawberry-rhubarb, salted caramel, blackberry-lavender sorbet and some of the best coconut you’ll ever taste. Get it in a handmade waffle cone or atop a thick Belgian-style waffle, with the option of hot fudge sauce. $10/pint. At XO Ice Cream & Waffles, 808, 100 Auburn Meadows Dr. S.E., 403-796-3975, xoicecream.com.
