Homemade Mayonnaise Immersion Blender (Printable)

Make rich, creamy mayonnaise quickly with an immersion blender. Ideal for spreads, salads, or dips.

# What You Need:

→ Base

01 - 1 large egg, room temperature
02 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
03 - 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or lemon juice

→ Oil

04 - 1 cup neutral oil such as sunflower, canola, or light olive oil

→ Seasoning

05 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
06 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, optional

# How To Make It:

01 - Place the egg, Dijon mustard, vinegar or lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper (if using) into a tall, narrow blending container.
02 - Pour the neutral oil directly on top of the other ingredients in the container.
03 - Insert the immersion blender all the way to the bottom of the container, then turn it on. Keep the blender at the base for about 10 seconds until emulsification begins and the mixture appears creamy.
04 - Slowly lift and lower the immersion blender to incorporate all the oil. Continue blending until the mayonnaise achieves a thick and smooth consistency, approximately 30 seconds.
05 - Taste and adjust salt or pepper according to preference.
06 - Transfer the finished mayonnaise to a clean jar, seal tightly, and refrigerate. Consume within one week.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The creamy texture feels truly homemade and tastes nothing like bland store brands.
  • No more guessing what's really in your spread—just real ingredients, quickly blended.
02 -
  • Using ingredients that aren’t room temperature once gave me a soupy mess; patience is worth it.
  • Letting the blender sit still first before moving it is crucial—otherwise, my mayo separated and looked sad.
03 -
  • If your mayo feels heavy, whisk in a teaspoon of water for a lighter, silkier finish.
  • Want a richer taste? Swap a tablespoon of oil for extra-virgin olive oil at the end.
