Equipment

1 hand mixer

Ingredients

Yellow Transparent Sweet Mayonnaise

1 egg
75 gr sugar
4 gr salt
400 cc coconut oil
1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

Crack the egg into a mixing bowl, then add sugar and salt. Beat with a hand mixer until the mixture turns pale yellow.
Now here’s the secret: add the oil one tablespoon at a time in the beginning. After each addition, beat until the oil is fully incorporated before adding the next. Once the mixture starts to look shiny and slightly transparent, you can add the oil in larger amounts. Continue beating until all the oil is used up.
Finally, pour in the lemon juice and mix well. Your sweet, transparent mayonnaise is ready! It should have a beautiful, glossy, golden-yellow sheen.

Notes

Take your time with the oil. Beating in the oil slowly is key—especially at the start. Add just one tablespoon at a time and beat well after each addition. Once the mixture starts turning glossy and slightly transparent, you’ll know it’s emulsifying properly—and that’s your green light to speed things up a bit.
Don’t overmix the lemon juice. Once the oil is fully incorporated, just mix the lemon juice briefly until it blends smoothly. No need to overdo it.
Concerned about raw eggs? If you're worried about using raw egg, you can gently warm the mixture by placing your mixing bowl over a bowl of hot water while whisking. Another safe option is to use pasteurized eggs, as recommended by the USDA.
