Have you ever used Chickpea Liquid (Aquafaba) to make Vegan Mayo/Sauce? Well I have!!
Ingredients:
60 ml aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)
1/8 tsp cream of tartar (I used extra, I possibly doubled it)
±1 ml dry powder mustard (I used 2 ml)
2.5 ml table salt
15 ml lemon juice (I did not have fresh juice so use concentrated bottled juice, and used only 10 ml)
7.5 ml white vinegar
15 ml stevia (I added ±10 ml extra sweetener. My guess would be that it’s due to the concentrated juice I used)
180 ml grape seed oil (It’s way cheaper than avocado oil and I do not stock it due to the high price)
Method:
Add brine to a large mixing bowl together with cream of tartar, dry mustard, salt, lemon juice, vinegar, and sweetener.
Blend on high with a hand mixer.
Measure out the required oil and with the mixer running at high speed, slowly drip the oil in over a period of 5-6 minutes while continuously blending.
DO NOT pour all the oil in from the onset.
Please note when doing this by hand, that this can take up to 10 minutes.
Next time I will do this in a stand mixer, but yes it can be done with a hand mixer.
I deliberately made my ‘mayo’ more like a sauce (thinner) as I want to drizzle it over Orzo salad.
Taste and adjust flavor according to your own palate.
As mentioned, I added some extra mustard and sweetener.
Pour in a glass jar and seal and place in the fridge. I made this a day ahead and left it overnight to settle.

Please refer to link: VEGAN AQUAFABA MAYO (WITH A HAND MIXER!) as I used this recipe and I made minor adjustments to the Minimalist Baker’s recipe according to the ingredients I had available. Thank you Minimalist Baker for this recipe.
My personal notes:
I doubled this recipe and added extra sweetener, dry mustard and cream of tartar to my mixture and I deliberately made it thinner, as I wanted it to be a sauce and not mayo as such.

You’re a super star for the ping. Thank you Carol
This looks yummy, Esme. Thanks so much for posting ♥
Thanks for your kind words Tina. Our vegan daughter-in-laws approved of the consistency and above all the healthy part and the taste. I am a happy camper
Glad to know your recipe has a star of approval, Esme 🙂
I am also very happy that she approved and took the remaining sauce home, that’s a huge compliment in my books.
Such a SMASHING content ✌✌
Jyo, you’re so sweet, thank you so much for your kind words. This is what keeps me going ♥
Love using aqua faba. I have a Chef friend, who makes killer “ice cream” with aqua faba and brown rice syrup Her butter pecan is amazing! The chocolate makes you want to be a chickpea rancher.
Oh wow, that just sounds awesome, love to get my hands on all those recipes. Does this Chef friend share?????
She sells what she makes, so I don’t know. I’ll see what I can learn, however. Perhaps, she’ll bring some over for my birthday and I can ask her then.
Understood Annette, so I do appreciate you asking.
Oh BTW – when is your birthday?????
B’day is Oct 25th! (the day I can eat the WHOLE container of ice cream in one sitting) granted, it’s not a huge container, but it can be if I choose…
Awesome I will notate that Annette – Happy Birthday in advance, should I inadvertently miss it, but will try to keep the date in mind.
I love homemade mayo ..You can also use the juice from when you pre cooked dried beans it makes a lovely base for soup and maybe after reading this recipe instead of chickpea juice? Will have to make a comparison next time I make mayo…Nice recipe E <3
Thanks Carol – my vegan daughter-in-law loves it
I have found that using liquid from different beans doesn’t always work for certain applications as well as the chickpea liquid. And I always use the liquid I cook my beans in for things such as soup stock, too. It only makes sense to me but it took me a while to realize how much GOOD sense it made.
You ladies rock. All these wonderful ideas being tossed around. Make me just want to stay home and not going to work, and try more stuff in the kitchen
Ah thank you, Annette I don’t know much about bean juice as I have only just started to really experiment with dried beans…Methinks I need to do some research into bean juice..Thank you kindly Annette hugs 🙂
Carol, please keep us posted on your research, would love to learn from the masters
I think Annette is more au fait than me but I will learn..That;s what I like about food and cooking always something to learn 🙂
Most definitely Carol – Never too old to learn new tricks
Thanks Sir
