Emulsify Oil, High-Speed Whip & Chill

Chef Notes & Value-Added Variations
Oil & Acid Substitutions: Substitute pumpkin seed oil or olive oil for vegetable oil. Try using cider vinegar, or a half-and-half blend of balsamic vinegar with red wine or raspberry vinegar.
Flavor & Texture Customizations: Add orange juice and honey for citrus warmth, or stir in finely chopped candied pecans for crunchy contrast. For a smooth, ultra-creamy emulsion, blend using an immersion stick blender.
To "Umamify" this Recipe: Add 1 tsp. RC Umami Sensations® Kokumi Powder* and 1 tsp. RC Umami Sensations® Mirepoix Powder during dry blending.
*Note: Adding RC Umami Sensations® Kokumi Powder introduces a wheat allergen.
