How to Make Low Cal Mayonnaise

  1. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup cold milk in a small bowl. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat 1/2 cup milk in a saucepan until hot (not boiling). Pour the hot milk over the bloomed gelatin and stir until completely dissolved.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg yolk, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and a dash of hot pepper sauce (optional).
  4. Gradually whisk the gelatin mixture into the egg yolk mixture, ensuring a smooth consistency.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture has thickened significantly.
  6. Once thickened, beat with a rotary beater or electric mixer until light and fluffy. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
