Use a tall jar, and keep in mind so as to add some air in the direction of the tip of creating the mayo. I do that by slowly transferring the blender up and down.

Common blenders usually are not as fool-proof — I don’t need to say that you just received’t have the ability to make this recipe utilizing your blender, however now we have not had as a lot success ourselves. In case you have a robust blender, then you definately is perhaps extra profitable.

Adam and Joanne’s Ideas

  • Substitute soy milk with aquafaba: As an alternative of 1/2 cup soy milk, use 4 tablespoons aquafaba (1/4 cup). The aquafaba whips as much as a bigger quantity, which is why we cut back the quantity required. The opposite components listed within the recipe don’t want to vary. Since we solely use 4 tablespoons of aquafaba, there is probably not sufficient liquid for the processor blades to mix at first; that’s okay, although. When you begin including the opposite components, try to be okay.
