Aquafabulous Mayonnaise and Aioli

This recipe truly is a miracle – you wouldn’t believe mayonnaise would work without egg but it does! If you are vegan, allergic to eggs or pregnant and avoiding raw eggs, it’s a life-changing discovery, and even if you aren’t it’s a great thing to know about as it tastes just the same as mayo made with egg! Use the chickpeas in one of these recipes.

I love this recipe, it is amazing how easy it is and so delicious!! People are shocked when I tell them its aquafaba!

Today was my third time of making this but this time, like rochiec, it remained thin and watery no matter what I tried. I wonder if some bands of tinned chickpeas work better (or worse) than others? Is there anything that could be done to rescue this in future?

He became great, maybe a little sour, but it is amazing. Thank you Annabelle. / Apologize but I use google translator /

rochiec - I had the same problem. Solved it by putting the oil in the fridge a few hours before so it emulsifies better

Oh wow, I usually use a recipe from one of the revive cafe cook books that uses soy milk (which I inevitably end us wasting the rest of) but this is waaay tastier and SO easy! Brilliant Annabel, thank you :)

Help! I was super excited to see this in your new book because it looks like an amazing substitute for your speedy mayo which I am a massive fan of but can't have at the mo because I'm pregnant. I seem to have had a fail making it however because it doesn't look thick & creamy but watery & revolting. The only thing I did different to the recipe was sub out the vinegar for lemon juice. I added more oil which usually works for speedy mayo with no luck. Please help me!!

Would coconut oil work with this or do you recommend other please...Irishlass might be parsley?
