Ingredients

• 2 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
• 200 ml Vegetable oil (or neutral oil like grapeseed oil)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 100 ml Heavy cream
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste White pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, and white wine vinegar until smooth and creamy.

Step 2

While continuously whisking, begin to add the vegetable oil in a slow, steady stream. Start with just a few drops at a time to help the emulsion form, then gradually increase to a thin, steady stream once it begins to thicken.

Step 3

Continue whisking until all the oil is incorporated, and the mixture reaches a thick, mayonnaise-like consistency. If the texture is too thick, you can whisk in a few drops of water to loosen it slightly.

Step 4

Add lemon juice, then season the mayonnaise with salt and white pepper to taste. Set aside.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks using a hand whisk or an electric mixer. Be careful not to overwhip, as it will become grainy.

Step 6

Gently fold the whipped cream into the prepared mayonnaise using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the cream; the goal is to maintain a light and airy texture.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. The mousseline mayonnaise is now ready to use.

Step 8

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container.
