There was a time when I used to buy mayonnaise without thinking twice.
It felt convenient. Easy. Just grab a jar and keep it in the fridge.
But the first time I made egg mayonnaise at home with a hand blender, I realised something — it’s faster than going to the store.
This homemade egg mayonnaise is creamy, balanced, slightly sweet, perfectly tangy, and made with just 7 simple kitchen ingredients. No complicated whisking. No slow oil pouring. Just blend and done.

How to Make Egg Mayonnaise (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Add Everything to a Tall Jar / Bowl

Add egg yolks, vegetable oil, powdered sugar, mustard powder, salt, white pepper, and vinegar into a tall blending jar.
Step 2: Blend Without Moving

Place the hand blender at the bottom of the jar.
Start blending and keep it still for a few seconds.
You’ll see the mixture begin to thicken from the bottom.
Step 3: Slowly Lift the Blender
Once thickened, slowly lift the blender upward to fully emulsify the mixture.
Within seconds, you’ll have thick, creamy mayonnaise.
Expert Tips for Perfect Mayonnaise
- Use room temperature eggs for better emulsification.
- Do not move the blender initially — this is key.
- Use neutral oil (like sunflower or refined oil).
- Adjust sugar and vinegar according to taste.
If your mayo looks slightly thin, blend a few seconds longer.
Substitutions & Variations
- Replace vinegar with lemon juice for a fresher taste.
- Add garlic for garlic mayo.
- Add chilli flakes for spicy mayo.
- Add a little honey instead of sugar for natural sweetness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my mayonnaise not thicken?
The blender must stay at the bottom initially. Lifting too early prevents proper emulsification.
Can I use whole eggs?
Yes, but the texture will be slightly lighter.
Can I skip sugar?
Yes, but the flavour will be more tangy and less balanced.
