Vegan Mayonnaise Collée

[Vegan Gelatin Mayonnaise for decorating Cold Dishes]

...Julia says this sauce will hold it's shape and can be squeezed out of a pastry bag...

...and I thought it would be perfect for topping some little hors d'oeuvres for The Airman's Wife's birthday...so first of all...I made some whole wheat crackers...hop over to Affectioknit for that piece...

...and also first of all...you'll need some VEGAN MAYONNAISE...

...or there's a Super Easy Small Batch Vegan Mayo...over at Affectioknit...scroll down...it's at the bottom...

...I used this type of agar powder for the vegan gelatin...

...dissolve the agar powder in the water...

...and bring it to the boil...

...add the white wine...

...when it is thickened...Julia says to add some (vegan) chicken or beef broth...but I added some herbs...

...and spinach...

...and then just added the mixture to my prepared mayonnaise...

...and blended it with the stick blender...and popped it in the fridge while I assembled my canapés...

...it came out of the fridge nice and thick...

...the whole wheat crackers first...but you could also use Vegan Canapés - Croutons...

...topped with some vegan cheese that I cut with my pastry wheel to make it look pretty...

...and then I topped that with some Tofurkey...

...and then decided to add some spinach...so I took the Tofurkey off...added the spinach and put the Tofurkey back on...

...then I put a fluted tip on my pastry bag...

...and piped a little swirl of Vegan Mayonnaise Collée onto each canapé...

...they turned out so pretty...

...and were the perfect little creamy tidbit for the party...
