Homemade Avocado Oil Mayonnaise

Homemade Avocado Oil Mayonnaise - Paleo, Whole30

One Thing that sets this recipe apart from others is that I didn't use a raw egg yolk. Almost all of the mayo recipes out there use raw egg yolks. Some say it is fine to eat the egg raw, but that it is a little safer to use an egg that has been pasteurized... I use fresh eggs from our neighbor, I was a little worried about using them. That is when I decided to try to cook the egg yolk while still tying to keep it able to whip up with the oil. That is when I thought that maybe if I cooked the egg with all the other ingredients (except the oil), using a double broiler. So I did, and it turned out great! I was so happy!

Homemade Avocado Oil Mayo
Makes 3/4 Cup

Ingredients
1 egg yolk
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp water
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp maple syrup (don't use if making this whole30)
pinch of Black pepper

1/2 C. Avocado oil

Instructions

In a medium size pot add 2-3 inches of water, set aside.

Measure out your 1/2 C. of avocado oil, set aside.

In a glass bowl that rests on top of the pot, (to create a double boiler) Add egg yolk, vinegar, water, salt and pepper, and whisk. Put the bowl resting in the pot, filled with water (The water should not be touching the bowl.)

Bring the water to a boil on medium-high heat, while whisking the egg mix constantly. When you first start it should be a transparent liquid, as it starts to cook it will start to become foamy and it will no longer be transparent, about 2-4 minutes. Take it off the heat immediately. Do the next step in a food processor, or I used my Vitamix. You can do this by hand, however it makes your arm tired very quickly. I had someone help me pour in the oil, I recommend doing that if you choose to do it by hand. It also was not as creamy when I did this by hand, as it was when I used the blender. It was still really good though!

Add the egg mixture to the blender. This next part you want to do very slowly! Turn your blender on medium-low, or start whisking, add your oil in a very thin stream into your egg mixture. Don't rush this! It will cause it to separate. I stopped pouring the oil about half way and scraped down the edges then continued to pour the oil in slowly again. If you are doing it be hand I recommend stop pouring the oil in and giving it a good whisk, about half way, just to make sure it is well mixed in. Continue until it is fluffy and smooth.

Store in an airtight container or jar, in the fridge.

Enjoy!

Paleo & Grain Free Sugar cookies

I have always enjoyed making roll-out sugar cookies. I created this recipe for a valentine's day treat. These have such a similar texture and taste, to the ones that I used to make. They have the perfect amount of softness/chewiness for me. I like my cookies to be on the soft side. You can bake them for longer if you like them crunchier.

Paleo & Vegan Avocado Key Lime Pie

I love this light simple key lime pie! It is so creamy and smooth and tastes so fresh, and doesn't make you feel heavy after eating it. You may worry that it will taste like avocados... I can honestly tell you that it does not. When you put avocados with something, like lime juice, all you can taste is the lime. But you get the creamy and smooth texture of the avocado that makes it so good! Paleo & Vegan Avocado Key Lime Pie Ingredients Crust Layer 1/2 C. Almonds(any other nut will work) 1/2 C.

How to Soak Cashews 3 different ways!

I have three ways that I have soaked cashews. They all have the same results. When I have the time, or I remember, I use the overnight method. But when you forget...it is nice to have other options! I found that raw or steam pasteurized cashews are the best for soaking. However any type of cashews will work. I have used roasted before, they just take a little longer to soak. So keep that in mind depending on what is available to you. Soaking Cashews Ingredients: cashews Water to cover Option 1) OVER NIGHT Place cashews in a glass jar or container and cover with water. Let soak in water for about 10-12 hours. They are fully soaked when they fall apart when you lightly squeeze them. Option 2) 3 HOURS Place cashews in a glass jar or container and cover with hot water. Let soak in water for about 3 hours, making sure to replace with new hot water every 30-45 minutes. They are full...
