Homemade Truffle Aioli

Once you try this restaurant quality Homemade Truffle Aioli, you will never want to eat store bought mayo again. It’s incredibly easy to make and is so flavorful and creamy.

Have you ever had truffle aioli at a restaurant? I feel like so many restaurants are serving it on either sandwiches and burgers or as a condiment for dipping fries or veggies. There’s just something so good about a homemade mayo. I also love this easy cilantro mayonnaise.

In my opinion, it is one of the most amazing condiments, I literally could eat it by the spoonful. There’s just something about the richness of the truffle oil that’s simply incredible.

How do I make truffle aioli?

Truffle aioli is actually very easy to make. Just follow these steps and it will turn out perfectly.

• A blender or food processor works best for this recipe, but you could also use a handheld immersion blender.
• Start with an egg that’s been brought to room temperature. It’s important that the egg is room temperature because it will be easier to emulsify with the oil to get that creamy texture that mayo has.
• Before the oil is added, blend the egg with the seasonings and lemon juice.
• Once those ingredients have been incorporated you will slowly stream in the canola oil and then the truffle oil until the aioli is a creamy consistency.

Any way you flavor it, aioli makes a great condiment for sandwiches, a decadent dip for french fries or veggies, as well as a base for salad dressings.

When you’re using a flavored oil, such as truffle oil, you only need a couple of tablespoons to achieve the right balance of flavor. So that the truffle flavor can really shine, you want to use a neutral flavored oil for the remaining amount. In this case, I used canola, but vegetable oil would also be a good choice.

What is truffle aioli used for?
