With just three simple ingredients, you can make a rich, creamy sauce that’s perfect for anyone following a carnivore diet.
No vegetable oils, no additives, just pure, carnivore based ingredients that create a delicious spread.
Making your own mayonnaise at home means you know exactly what goes into it. Store bought mayo often contains ingredients that aren’t carnivore friendly, like seed oils and preservatives.
This homemade version uses only butter, egg yolks, and a touch of lemon juice to bring everything together.
The process is straightforward and takes just minutes to prepare, though you’ll need to be patient while it chills in the fridge.
You don’t need any special equipment besides a basic blender, and the ingredients are probably already in your kitchen if you follow a carnivore diet.
The taste is better than regular mayonnaise, with a buttery flavor that complements any meat dish. Let’s get started!

💡Tips
1. Butter Tempeature
The temperature of your butter is important for this recipe. You want it to be soft enough to blend easily, but not melted or oily.
Take the butter out of the refrigerator about 30-45 minutes before you plan to make the mayo.
The ideal consistency is when you can easily press your finger into the butter and leave an indentation, but the butter still holds its shape.
2. Choosing The Right Butter
Choose a high quality, grass fed butter if possible. These often have a richer flavor and a better nutritional profile.
Salted butter works well in this recipe, adding flavor and helping to preserve the mayo. However, if you prefer to control the salt content yourself, you can use unsalted butter and add salt to taste.
3. Troubleshooting And Adjusting Consistency
If your mayo is too thick after blending, you can thin it out by adding a small amount of warm water, one teaspoon at a time, and blending until you reach your desired consistency.
If it’s too thin, which is less likely with this method, I recommend trying blending in a bit more softened butter.
If the mayo seems to separate or curdle during blending, it’s often because the ingredients weren’t at the right temperature or weren’t blended long enough.
In this case, let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then try blending again.

FAQ
What does this sauce taste like?
The sauce tastes rich, creamy, and buttery. It has a slight tang from the lemon juice. The flavor is similar to regular mayonnaise but richer because of the butter. It’s smooth and spreadable, good for adding flavor to meats.
Can I freeze this sauce?
I don’t recommend freezing this sauce. Freezing can change the texture and make it separate or become grainy when thawed. It’s best to make small batches and use them within a week.
