Recipe Additions & Tips

Chill the Chipotle mayonnaise in the refrigerator before serving. It will become even creamier and firmer there – and the flavor will develop perfectly.

Instead of two medium-sized egg yolks, you can also use one large egg yolk. A neutral oil like rapeseed or sunflower oil is best suited as cooking oil. Olive oil has a strong flavor of its own and is therefore less ideal for mayonnaise.

The Chipotle Chili Sauce used must contain acid in the form of vinegar or lemon for success. This recipe works excellently with Mexican Smoker and Old Texas Chipotle Hot Sauces. For other sauces, simply try it out – that's the Pikantista way!

The spiciness of the chili sauces distributes itself in the oil and is only lightly present. The smoky flavor and seasoning of the sauce still come through beautifully – that's what makes this mayonnaise so special.

It is important to slowly combine the oil with the other ingredients. The egg yolk acts as an emulsifier, combining the liquid of the sauce with the oil. For this to work, add the oil only in small amounts with constant stirring. No stress – step by step.
