Chipotle Aioli is a homemade aioli sauce recipe with a spicy kick. Chipotle peppers, garlic and lemon come together in this flavorful homemade spicy dip.

Chipotle Aioli is fast and easy to make. Made with minced Garlic, Lemon Juice, and Chipotle from adobo, it is an excellent spicy and creamy spread for hamburgers or sandwiches. Dip fries in it and you’ll be in food heaven.

Why this recipe works:

If you’re looking for a rich, creamy, spicy dip recipe that can also be used as a spread, this is a fantastic recipe.

• It only takes a couple minutes to whirl up in the food processor or with an immersion blender.
• You can control the spice level by varying the amount of peppers that you add.
• This recipe uses simple ingredients: egg yolks, lemon juice, garlic, Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, oil, salt, and a pinch of sugar.

Here’s how to make it:

1. You start by placing the egg yolks, lemon juice, minced garlic, sugar, salt, and chipotle in a food processor. You can also use an immersion blender if you’re using a flat bottom container that’s just wide enough to fit the blender. A wide mouth mason jar works really well.
2. After pulsing to combine all of the ingredients, slowly pour the oil in.
3. Next you will process it again while you pour a slow steady stream of oil until the aioli forms. You will need to scrap the sides and process again until all the ingredients have come together to form the aioli!

Recipe tips:

• Be sure to blend all of the ingredients really well before adding the oil so that the eggs can emulsify.
• When adding the oil, this recipe works best when it’s added in a continuous slow steady stream while the blender or processor is running.
• Once it’s done, give it a taste and adjust any ingredients (i.e. add more salt), if needed.
• This chipotle aioli sauce can be used for a variety of things. Like I said before, you can slather it onto a burger or dip fries in it. It also goes well with sandwiches, chicken tenders, and fish sticks if you’re looking for even more ways to enjoy it!
