Where to find ingredients
Find dairy products and vegetable oils at local grocery stores. Unflavored gelatin is typically available in the baking aisle. If you prefer a more pronounced flavor, a high-quality extra virgin olive oil can be used as a partial substitute, though vegetable oil is recommended for its neutral profile in this specific recipe.
Preparation method
- Prepare the unflavored gelatin according to the package instructions and set aside.
- Pour the cold milk, vegetable oil, and vinegar (or lemon juice) into a blender.
- Add the prepared gelatin to the blender mixture.
- Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the mayonnaise into an airtight container.
- Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow it to firm up before serving.
