Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
- 200 ml Vegetable oil (or neutral oil like grapeseed oil)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 100 ml Heavy cream
- to taste Salt
- to taste White pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, and white wine vinegar until smooth and creamy.
While continuously whisking, begin to add the vegetable oil in a slow, steady stream. Start with just a few drops at a time to help the emulsion form, then gradually increase to a thin, steady stream once it begins to thicken.
Continue whisking until all the oil is incorporated, and the mixture reaches a thick, mayonnaise-like consistency. If the texture is too thick, you can whisk in a few drops of water to loosen it slightly.
Add lemon juice, then season the mayonnaise with salt and white pepper to taste. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks using a hand whisk or an electric mixer. Be careful not to overwhip, as it will become grainy.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the prepared mayonnaise using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the cream; the goal is to maintain a light and airy texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. The mousseline mayonnaise is now ready to use.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container.
