Ingredient substitutions:
Tapioca starch - substitute with the same amount of corn flour. The texture of your ice cream may start to go icy more quickly if you use corn flour. If you are using corn flour add it to the cream and milk at the beginning of cooking the base, it the corn flour takes longer to cook.
Glucose syrup - helps keep the ice cream soft and scoopable and stop it from freezing like a brick! If you can't get glucose syrup you can try substituting the same amount of light corn syrup.
