This recipe for homemade mayonnaise is a copycat of the famous Hellmann’s. One can never copy a product that is mass-produced like Hellmann’s exactly but what one can make is something that is more real and even better than Hellmann’s. I use a fool-proof and super-quick method to make it because who has time to make this by hand? And by hand, I mean using a whisk in a bowl to create an emulsion.
My homemade mayonnaise takes a minute to make and can easily be adapted to your taste. Many store-bought mayonnaise brands have a list of undesirable ingredients, but by making your own you will know exactly what is going into the mix.
When Unilever announced they were going to stop producing Hellman’s mayonnaise for South Africa recently, I was distraught. This is my favourite mayonnaise to have on hand to use when needed. It has a long shelf life.
As a solution-orientated person, I instantly searched the internet with a vengeance to try and find a copycat of Hellman’s recipe because making your own mayonnaise will always deliver a better result.
