About

Movida is renowned for its divine, perfectly prepared little dishes, and David Roberts is at the kitchen helm of this iconic Melbourne tapas bar. Leche merengada is a popular summer drink in Spain, made from milk, egg whites, sugar and cinnamon. It is served ice cold, and often partly frozen, like a milky granita. In this recipe the merengada is aerated and frozen to create an ice cream.
