Hollandaise
This creamy, classic sauce is a weekend staple that can be achieved in minutes using a Vitamix blender instead of a double boiler. We also offer a few ways to spice it up for some added kick.
Ingredients
- 6 large pasteurized egg yolks
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2-3 dashes of your favorite hot sauce
- 1½ cup (360 ml) melted butter, warm
Directions
- Place yolks, lemon juice, salt, and hot sauce (plus any optional add-in ingredient you want) into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
- Select the lowest setting. Start the machine, slowly increase to Variable 8, and run for 30 seconds.
- While the machine is still running, remove the lid plug and slowly pour warm butter through the opening. As the mixture begins to thicken, the butter may be added at a faster rate. Finish pouring the butter and after blending for another 30 seconds, replace the lid plug. Increase speed to Variable 10 and run for 3 to 5 seconds.
Notes
When adding the ingredients into the container make sure the initial ingredients just cover the blades to ensure a proper emulsification, if there is not enough add another egg yolk to the base.

Wonderful And Easy!
This is such a quick and simple way to make hollandaise! It turns out so delicious every time. I do add just a bit more lemon juice, which suits my taste. If the consistency is a little thick, I just add a little water to thin it a tad. This is just another way Vitamix streamlines something that used to be complex, into a very simple task.

Easiest and best ever
Not exaggerating when I say this was the best hollandaise sauce I have ever had. And the easiest. I have been intimidated by my Aer container and finally cracked it open. I can’t wait to use it more!!

So simple & easy!
I love this classic recipe, and it's so much easier to make than the traditional way of mixing incessantly!! Also, it's even perfect without the hot sauce. Delicious!

Definitely does not work for half batches
I just received this Vitamix this week so I thought I'd try the hollandaise recipe which I normally make by hand. Says there's only two of us I did not need the large recipe so I cut it in half. Really really bad idea. Apparently 3 egg yolks is not enough to actually do anything with the aerator and therefore when I added the warm butter gradually it was just a runny mess. I am going to stick we're doing this by hand because it makes a luxurious and rich sauce. From now on I'm just going to assume that the recipes for this machine cannot be made in smaller batches than the actual recipe ingredient requirement.

That is really good
This is the easiest Hollandaise I have made and the consistency was creamy and the tart lemon over the butter. Loved it.
