Macadamia Nut Mayo - half recipe

First Do No Harm

Macadamia/MCT Mayo
Half Recipe
Mock Miracle Whip®
This is our BEST ever mayo recipe.

Special Note: I love the flavor of the Macadamia Nut Oil, but if you are dieting, you should know about MCT Oils (medium chain triglycerides). They do not go and cling to your fat cells. The get burned up immediately and provide instant energy. If dieting or just conscious of your weight, you really need to check out MCT Oils. And even when we cut the recipe in half, I still use 4 egg yolks. It's just easier to make.

Ingredients (as always, as organic as possible)

1 ½ cup Macadamia Nut Oil or MCT Oil
3 or 4 egg yokes (if yokes are small, use 4)

1 teaspoon Konjac Flour
½ Cup Water
½ Cup Coconut Milk Powder (new!)
6 tablespoons Swerve Confectionary Sweetener (rounded tablespoons for sweeter mayo)
¼ Cup Unpasteurized Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Celtic Sea Salt
1½ teaspoons Dry Mustard
½ teaspoon White Pepper
¼ Cup fresh squeezed Lemon juice

If you prefer regular mayo to the tangy Miracle Whip® taste, simply cut the vinegar in half and no erythritol/Swerve.

One Note on Erythritol/Swerve: Erythritol does not dissolve very quickly, so we've chosen this powdered form called Swerve Confectionary Sweetener.

Note: This recipe is just so easy to make. When I make the FULL recipe, it seems to take a long time. And the only thing you have to get right is the beginning when drizzling oil into the mixer over the egg yolks.

In a mixing bowl, with the mixer on high, add the egg yolks. Then add Macadamia Nut Oil just a few drops at a time (or a very thin drizzle) at first to make sure you're getting enough air into the mixture. Add the oil very, very slowly. You should notice that the concoction starts to stiffen as the designs created by the whirring blender being to stay longer and longer.

When finished, mix all the ingredients in the second part of the recipe, including the KONJAC Flour, in a medium saucepan.

You have to be really careful with this konjac flour. It has virtually no calories, and 1 teaspoon will thicken a cup of liquid. However, it will thicken without heat.

BUT, konjac flour can clump, so you really must use a submersion blender on this concoction.

AND NOW FOR THE BEST MAYO EVER (we've had blind taste tests):

We have added one half cup of Coconut Milk Powder to the recipe. It was an experiment and it turned out so good, we will NEVER make mayo again without this. It just made the mayo amazing.

Get this: When you finish blending up this second part, it will look way too "liquidy" to add to the concoction in your mixer, but don't worry. It takes a bit for the Konjac Flour to thicken. Just go ahead and blend it all together well, put it in the fridge, and it will thicken.

Lacto-Fermented Mayo

In place of a tablespoon or two of vinegar, get a tablespoon of kimchi juice, or juice from a good sauerkraut and stir that in. Let it sit in the kitchen for about 7 hours then refrigerate. Another way is to open some capsules of probiotics and spread the contents throughout the mayo and then let it sit. This is a great way to keep your gut in balance.
