Stopped by Australian Home Made Ice Cream in Gent for waffles with chocolate, and they were delicious. The waffles were warm and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and generously topped with rich, melted chocolate. A simple but very satisfying treat.
Fun Fact
Despite its name sounding like it comes from “down under,” Australian Home Made Ice Cream actually started in Belgium in 1989 as a small ice cream shop in Knokke and has grown into a well-known Belgian ice cream brand with more than 40 locations across the country. Its ice cream is still made daily with natural ingredients and traditional methods that go back to that original family recipe.
