format_list_numbered Preparation
Measure the tapioca starch into a small bowl. Measure out the milk, then add a couple of tablespoons of the milk into the bowl with the tapioca starch. Mix well to form a slurry and get out all the lumps.
Add the milk, cream, sugar, and glucose syrup to a small pot on the stove. Heat on medium and stir well until all the sugar is dissolved.
Add tapioca starch slurry and stir well for a few minutes on medium heat. Remove from heat and allow to cool for about a few minutes.
Add the pistachio paste and vanilla essence and blend well until smooth. Chill in the fridge for at least four hours, ideally overnight.
Put your ice cream storage container into the freezer to chill. If you are using a self-chilling churner turn it on ten mins before to chill. Churn the ice cream. It will be the consistency of soft-serve when done.
Transfer to the chilled ice cream container, cover, and freeze for at least four hours, or until firm.
To serve, remove from the freezer, scoop, and enjoy. Fabulous on its own or with some extra chopped roasted pistachios sprinkled over the top. Delicious!

Chef's Pro Tips
For a more intense pistachio flavor, consider roasting raw pistachios before blending them into a paste.
Ensure the pistachio paste is of high quality; this will significantly affect the final taste of your ice cream.
Chilling your mixture overnight allows the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.
Storage Guide
Up to 2 weeks
Store in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals from forming. For best texture, allow to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
Avoid These Mistakes
✕ Not dissolving the sugar completely can lead to a gritty texture.
✕ Over-churning the ice cream can cause it to become too hard; stop once it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
✕ Using low-quality pistachio paste may lead to a bland flavor.
