This homemade miracle whip recipe only takes a couple of minutes to make and is made out of simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. Miracle whip is a tangy, more flavorful version of regular mayonnaise.  Eating miracle whip made from scratch is much better than store-bought miracle whip which is full of questionable ingredients like lots of preservatives, high fructose corn syrup and unhealthy seed oils. I like to use avocado oil for my homemade miracle whip along with a few other simple ingredients to make a simple and delicious condiment that is perfect for salads, sandwiches and lots more.

How to Make Homemade Miracle Whip

Add your room temperature egg, oil, and all other ingredients to a mason jar.

Place the immersion blender on the bottom of the jar, and begin blending, raising the blender slightly until you get to the top of the oil/egg mixture.  This allows all the ingredients to thoroughly blend and emulsify.

Tips

  • Use a glass jar with measurements marked on the side, making it easy to measure out the oil needed for the recipe.
  • Using a room temperature egg helps the egg and oil to emulsify into a beautiful thick mayo or miracle whip.
  • To make mayonnaise instead of miracle whip, just add the oil, egg, vinegar, mustard and salt to the jar.  Blend to immulsify and you'll have a delicious mayonnaise.

FAQ

The main ingredients in Miracle Whip are avocado oil, egg, sugar, vinegar and a few spices.

Miracle whip has more sugar and vinegar giving it a ligher, tangier flavor profile than mayonnaise which tends to be more bland. Some people prefer the taste of miracle whip and others prefer the taste of mayonnaise. Both are easy to make at home.
