Just a note (which am going to add to the recipe): If the cooled-off mayo seems too thick or stiff to you, beat it with a whisk (you can do it right in the jar if you have a whisk that fits) until creamy. <br />If you cut down the amount of cornstarch, it gets a bit runny after a week or so. The whisking method works for me-- it stays creamy but thick.Bryanna Clark Groganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235333928055873948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-38616287469116049422018-05-03T11:01:03.926-07:002018-05-03T11:01:03.926-07:00Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my...Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question!

With all agar, it is too rubbery and it's hard to get the right creamy consistency. With all starch it's too, well, starchy! The starch also seems to start breaking down after a few days. This combination seems to work best.Bryanna Clark Groganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235333928055873948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-64447072264291870432018-05-02T01:53:38.206-07:002018-05-02T01:53:38.206-07:00Thank you for all that you do!

First...My name is Jim And I have an observation. First of all I love your mayonaise. But I have a question about the fat calories in a TBS. <br />1/4 cup of raw cashews has 68% are fat calories = 102 calories per 1/4 cup<br />the recipe makes 2 cups of product. 2 Cups = 8- 1/4 cups. 102 calories of raw cashews divided by 8 = 12.7 calories per 1/4 cup of product. there are 4 tbs in 1.4 cup therefore dividing the 12.7 calories of fat by 4 = 3.18 calories per tbs. And that is even better news than 12.7 it just needed to be divided one more time to the calories per tbs.

Last year I switched to a "light" variety to save some calories, but I went back to veganism a couple weeks ago and knew it would be stupid to waste money on Vegenaise when I had seen so many vegan mayo recipes online!<br /><br />So, I decided to try your recipe because cashews seemed yummier than tofu in terms of mayo, and contained no added oil. I whipped up a batch tonight and it fit perfectly in my empty Vegenaise jar. I tried half lemon juice and half apple cider vinegar. I may try different combos in the future. I was nervous to take my first taste, but was astounded at how good this stuff is! It's so creamy and does not have any "strange" flavors like I was afraid it might. The acids give it a lot of flavor, sort of like a cole slaw dressing, in my opinion. <br /><br />I'm thrilled to have found a such a low calorie alternative (and vegan!) for my mayo addiction! Thanks for sharing such a great recipe. :)Hayleenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-7954686249888721782014-11-29T17:16:58.474-08:002014-11-29T17:16:58.474-08:00Hmmm...I really don't know.

I would start with no more than 1/2 tsp. gum at first and go on from there. But, honestly, I have no idea if it will work or not.Bryanna Clark Groganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235333928055873948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-43174866201086316162014-11-29T16:48:23.641-08:002014-11-29T16:48:23.641-08:00That's right -- no starches at all.

Is there any way to make the recipe without corn starch? If so, what adjustments, replacements, or both should I make? I can't have any type of starches -- potao, rice, corn, etc. I cannot have vegg power either because it has flavored yeast, a starch.

Being gums, they result in a "gummy" texture. I worked very hard on this (over a number of years) to get the right texture with the combination of agar and cornstarch. You don't need to use the VEGG powder-- it's optional. I have a hard time getting it where I live, so I don't bother. (Hard-boiled egg whites would not work-- you would probably have lumps!) Some people use Indian "black salt", which has an egg-yolk-y sulphur-y smell and taste, but we don't really miss it. As for gelatin, I don't know about that-- haven't used it for 25 years. Do you have a problem with either agar or cornstarch? they are easily available.<br />Bryanna Clark Groganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235333928055873948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-62274138564525253212014-11-28T23:40:19.340-08:002014-11-28T23:40:19.340-08:00Two questions: can I replace the agar agar and cor...Two questions: can I replace the agar agar and cornstarch by guar gum and xantham gum or gelatin?
