Ingredients
Basil and Vinegar Base
- 1/2 cup Basil Leaves fresh
- 2 tsp Bragg'S Apple Cider Vinegar organic, raw
Creamy Base
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream or full-fat store-bought, preferably homemade
- 1/4 cup Milk boiled and chilled, whole milk
Instructions
Prepare the Basil Mixture
- Combine fresh basil leaves, apple cider vinegar, heavy cream, and milk in a high-speed blender.
Blend until Smooth
- Blend the mixture until completely smooth and creamy. This will take a few minutes.
Gradually Add Olive Oil
- With the blender running on a low speed, slowly drizzle in the olive oil in a thin, steady stream. This helps to create a stable emulsion.
Achieve Desired Consistency
- Once all the olive oil is incorporated, continue blending until the mayonnaise reaches your desired thickness. If it's too thin, add a little more olive oil. If it's too thick, add a small amount of milk and blend briefly.
Season and Store
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Vegan Mayo
- Use high-quality ingredients: The flavor of your mayonnaise will be directly impacted by the quality of your ingredients. Opt for fresh, flavorful basil and good quality olive oil.
- Chill your ingredients: Chilled ingredients will help create a smoother, more stable emulsion.
- Blend slowly at first: Adding the olive oil too quickly can prevent proper emulsification. Take your time and drizzle it in slowly.
- Adjust seasonings to your liking: Feel free to experiment with other herbs or spices to customize the flavor. A touch of garlic powder or lemon juice would also work well.
