The first time I tasted aioli sauce. It was at a small coastal restaurant in Malaga during one of my travels through Spain. The rich, creamy, garlicky goodness was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. It was love at first bite! Ever since that day, I have been on a mission to recreate that incredible flavor in my own kitchen. After numerous trials and errors, I finally perfected my Thermomix Aioli sauce recipe, and I am so excited to share it with you!

Traditional Thermomix Aioli Sauce Recipe
Why Make Aioli Sauce in a Thermomix?
The Thermomix is an incredible kitchen tool that simplifies what can often be a tricky process. Traditionally, aioli sauce requires constant whisking to achieve the perfect emulsification. With the Thermomix, however, this process becomes completely stress-free. No more worrying about the aioli breaking or ending up with a runny mess—your Thermomix does all the heavy lifting!
Using the Thermomix, I can consistently create garlic aioli Thermomix style with perfect texture every single time. This method ensures that your aioli remains creamy, thick, and packed with that signature garlicky punch. Learn more about the origins of aioli sauce
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 garlic cloves (for that robust, aromatic flavor)
- 1 egg yolk (room temperature for better emulsification)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (adds depth and stability to the emulsion)
- 200ml olive oil (light olive oil for a milder taste or extra virgin for a bolder flavor)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (for brightness and acidity)
- 1 tsp white vinegar (for extra tanginess)
- Salt to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prepare the Garlic: Place the garlic cloves into the Thermomix bowl and chop for 5 seconds at speed 7. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Mix the Base: Add the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and vinegar. Blend for 10 seconds at speed 4 until well combined.
- Emulsify the Aioli: Set the Thermomix to speed 4. While the blades are running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil through the lid. This should take about 2–3 minutes to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
- Season and Serve: Add salt to taste and mix for an additional 5 seconds at speed 4. Your homemade Aioli sauce Thermomix is now ready to enjoy!
