How To Make coconut mayonnaise
-
Step 1Mayonnaise is very easy to make once you know what you’re supposed to be doing. If you don’t, then most likely you’ll just end up with an oily mess. If you’ve never made mayonnaise before but want to, then read on. Even if you don’t want to you should still read on. Homemade mayo tastes so much better than store bought, and it is much healthier because there are no trans-fats. In our video we use organic Virgin Coconut Oil, and organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Try finding a mayo like that in the stores!
-
Step 2The key to a successful batch of mayo is the oils. Actually, patience is the real key here. The adding-the-oils process can take up to five minutes, so be prepared. Your arm may get tired. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
-
Step 3After placing the first six ingredients in the blender, blend it very briefly. All you want to do is mix the stuff together, so don’t overdo it. Next, pour the two oils together into a liquid measuring cup with a spout and with the blender running on a low speed, start adding the oils into the blender in drops. Shall I emphasize that? Seriously, it needs to be drops. Tiny drops.
-
Step 4After about a minute or so, gradually start working the oils up to a stream. Again, a TINY stream. Like the size of a needle. And it needs to be steady. Not a stop-and-go type of stream. Just a tiny, steady, stream. Once you’ve worked up to a stream you can increase the blender speed to about medium. You be the judge.
-
Step 5When you’ve got only about 1/4 of a cup left you can increase the stream just a bit, but never, ever just dump the oil in. If you add the oils too quickly the mayo will turn into a curdled, oily mixture instead of whipping up into a thick, creamy spread. And it’ll stay that way. You won’t be able to save it.
-
Step 6You can use any type of mustard you like for this recipe. The classic is Dijon. Same thing for the pepper. Any type you like. White pepper is the one to go to if you don’t want black specks in your mayo but go ahead with the black if you don’t mind the looks so much.
-
Step 7So that’s that! Making your own mayonnaise is really very easy. Just be patient with adding the oils and it’ll turn out perfect.
