We grew up with Mum’s condensed milk mayonnaise. There was always a Tupperware container of it in the fridge ready to smear on an egg salad sandwich, and considering we grew up on a poultry farm there was always, always tonnes of eggs …..remind us to tell you just how many we used trying to perfect pavlova…..too many!
Anyways as this mayonnaise was always on hand it was perfect for after school sandwiches.
Crusty white sourdough bread smeared with mayonnaise, cold thinly sliced iceberg lettuce, thin slices of tomato and cucumber, salt pepper and some shaved ham makes for a perfect sandwich.
Condensed milk mayonnaise – Original recipe
This Nestle recipe has been around for decades, probably well before supermarkets sold salad dressing, or salad cream.
The recipe was on the label and this is the recipe we both always make and have on hand in the fridge, particularly in the warmer months.
Our Mum always used malt vinegar, where the original recipe used white. It’s piquant with the mustard powder and malt vinegar and you’d think it would be super sweet, but it’s not.
One minute condensed milk mayonnaise
Condensed milk mayonnaise is super quick and easy to make. All you need to do is pour the condensed milk into a small bowl and add the vinegar, mustard powder, salt and pepper and give it all a good mix.
Pour the mayonnaise into a container with a lid and refrigerate it. The mayonnaise thickens up from when it is first mixed which makes it spreadable.
It keeps for months refrigerated.

My mum used to make this exact Mayo all the top, thank you for the memory.
Hi Susan, glad you enjoyed the trip down memory lane. Jo and Jen
My Grandmother used to make this mayo! Living on an isolated property she had all the tricks to rustle up a 3 course lunch out of seemingly nothing. This was a staple in the fridge. We loved it on shredded lettuce.
Hi Heather, thanks for the trip down memory lane. Your Grandmother like so many of that generation were so resourceful and this mayo has stood the test of time along with so many of their recipes. Jo and Jen
If you’re trying for gf don’t use malt vinegar. My daughter is celiac and eating this would make her extremely ill. I’ve never tried it with white vinegar, mum always made it with malt. Has anyone tried white? Is it as good?
Hi Robyn, sure enough after checking malt vinegar does contain small amounts of gluten so thanks for the insight into malt vinegar…….
Originally the recipe was printed on the Nestlé condensed milk can and it used white vinegar. Our mother like yours always made this recipe with malt, but we think it would definitely be worth giving it a try. Would love to hear how it turns out if you use the white vinegar. Jo and Jen
I’ve always used white vinegar as did my mum and her mum as well. Tastes fantastic.
Hi Glenda, agreed the mayo taste fantastic using either white vinegar which is what the original Nestlé recipe called for or malt, either way it’s a winner. Thanks for sharing. Jo and Jen
Yes I’ve tried it with white, it really is good, my mum always made hers with brown.we have never had bought mayonnaise as it hasn’t the right taste to use all the time, I’ve grown up with it so have my sons now I’m trying to educate my Grandchildren, the taste is a bit strong as they are used to bought stuff and to me it has no flavour, so hoping this Christmas I’ll get them on side as I don’t have to bought only homemade with condensed milk. The vinegar and mustard takes the sweetness away. ?????
Hi Delphine, thanks for the response to the question about the mayo being as good with white vinegar as opposed to malt vinegar, it’s always good to get another perspective. Good luck with converting the Grandchildren, we think once they taste condensed milk mayo they’ll never look back. Jo and Jen
This certainly is a trip down memory lane. My mum always used white vinegar and it was delicious. She also added chopped gherkins or MasterFoods Gherkin Relish to make a tartare sauce. Old fashioned and still yummy.
Hi Barbara, couldn’t agree with you more, it is yummy. Glad you found us. Regards Jo and Jen
