i followed the hand blender part of this(https://youtu.be/ZyOXoafZYT0) recipe. this only difference is i chopped my garlic a lot finer, i used 50/50 olive and vegetable oil and blended it longer.
i slowly blended it to make sure i wasnt adding too much oil but maybe i overblended?
ive tried his fix(adding aquafaba) but it didn’t work, ive tried ice cubes and eggs but it doesnt work.
ive tried making a smaller batch with mortar and pestle and but it seems its just the fibers thickening it not an emulsification.
tl;dr: ive tried everything i can find but my toum doesnt thicken what do i do?
I make aquafaba mayo using a hand blender a lot. Drizzling the oil in using a squeeze bottle helps a lot. Also just moving the hand blender around and kind of bringing the oil into the mixture as you drizzle.
1/8 tsp xanthan gum may also help to stabilize things if all else fails.
