Whipped Garlic Aioli Foam Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2-3 garlic cloves, finely minced or grated
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 cup neutral oil (like grapeseed or canola oil)
- Salt to taste
- Whipped cream charger and dispenser
Instructions
-
Prepare the Base Aioli:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, garlic, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Slowly drizzle in the oil while continuously whisking to create an emulsion. Start with a few drops at a time, gradually increasing the flow as the mixture thickens. This step is crucial for achieving a creamy consistency.
-
Season to Perfection:
- Once the oil is fully incorporated, season the aioli with salt to taste. Adjust the garlic and lemon juice if desired for a more pronounced flavor.
-
Strain the Aioli:
- For a smooth and airy foam, strain the aioli through a fine mesh sieve to remove any bits of garlic or unblended ingredients.
-
Prepare the Foam:
- Pour the strained aioli into a whipped cream dispenser, ensuring it doesn’t exceed the maximum fill line.
- Charge the dispenser with a cream charger, shake it vigorously, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the foam to chill and stabilize.
-
Serve with Elegance:
- Dispense the whipped garlic aioli foam directly onto your dishes. Use it to elevate grilled vegetables, seafood, roasted meats, or even as a dip for freshly baked bread.
Tips for Success
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- If you don’t have a whipped cream dispenser, you can still make classic garlic aioli and serve it as is—though it won’t have the same airy texture.
- For a more adventurous flavor profile, experiment by adding smoked paprika, truffle oil, or fresh herbs to the base aioli before whipping.
This Whipped Garlic Aioli Foam isn’t just a condiment—it’s an experience. Its velvety texture and bold flavor make it the perfect finishing touch for dishes that need a little something extra. Impress your guests with this elegant twist and transform ordinary meals into culinary masterpieces!
