Garlic Aioli is so often served in many restaurants. It is a favorite of ours because it is so wonderfully pungent and creamy. We put together this garlic Aioli and used it to dip fresh vegetables in, and as a dipping sauce for freshly grilled meat.

Creamy Garlic Mayonnaise
Garlic mayonnaise is easy to make when you use an immersion blender. You can also make it by hand with a whisk. Watch the recipe video to see how it is made by whisking the ingredients together.
It tastes so much better than anything you can buy. Consider making your own fresh garlic aioli at home.
Recipe Ingredients
Here’s a list of what you need:
- Eggs
- Dijon mustard
- Lemon juice or white vinegar
- Sunflower, vegetable, canola, or avocado oil
- Garlic
- Salt
- Ground black pepper
- Red pepper flakes for garnish if desired
How to Make Garlic Aioli
With an immersion blender:
- Place all the ingredients except oil in a container slightly wider than the immersion blender tip and about 6 inches in height.
- Pulse the blender to combine the egg, yolk, mustard, and lemon juice.
- Slowly drizzle the oil into the container while blending.
- After adding some oil, lift or tilt the blender slightly to let some air inside the mixture.
- Continue to add oil while blending. The mixture will thicken into mayonnaise.
- If using aioli as a dip, you can garnish it with red pepper flakes if desired.
By hand:
- Place the egg, yolk, vinegar, and mustard in a medium bowl.
- Whisk until combined.
- Add the oil, a little at a time, and whisk vigorously after each addition to emulsify the mixture into mayonnaise.
- Add the minced garlic and stir it into the mayonnaise.
- Add salt and pepper and stir it into the aioli.
- If using aioli as a dip, you can garnish it with red pepper flakes if desired.

Immersion Blender Method
Place all the ingredients except oil in a container that is just a little wider than the immersion blender tip and about 6 inches tall.
Pulse the blender to beat the egg and yolk and combine them with mustard and lemon juice.
Slowly drizzle the oil into the container while blending to give time for the emulsion to appear.
After adding about a third of the oil, lift or tilt the blender slightly to let some air inside the mixture.
Continue to add oil while blending. The mixture will emulsify and thicken.
If using aioli as a dip, you can garnish it with red pepper flakes if desired.
By Hand Method
Place the egg, yolk, vinegar, and mustard in a medium bowl.
Whisk until thoroughly combined.
Add the oil, about ½ tablespoon at a time, and whisk vigorously after each addition to incorporate it into and emulsify the mixture. This creates mayonnaise.
Add the minced garlic and whisk or stir it into the mayonnaise.
Add salt and pepper and whisk or stir it into the aioli.
If using aioli as a dip, you can garnish it with red pepper flakes if desired.

Yes, mayonnaise has raw eggs. You could consider using pasteurized eggs.

How long would it last in a Airtight mason jar? Do you know?
I can’t wait to make it.
I too have never heard of garlic aioli. But the sound of garlic mayonnaise to be able to use it for dips sounds delicious!Reply

I went to a French culinary school, we would use this for up to a week after making. The chefs said in France the French would make this and it could say for up to a month.

Can you make it with olive oil instead of peanut oil?

I think it would be fine with olive oil as well.

I’d never heard of Garlic Aioli before and looked to Google for a recipe that I could include on my site to accompany a Coconut Shrimp recipe. Yours sounded the yummiest so I hope that you don’t mind that I linked to it!Thanks!
