Tips and tricks for perfect homemade copycat McDonald’s sauce (+ storage)

If you want a homemade McDonald’s sauce as tasty as the legendary Big Mac, here are a few tips to make it perfect and keep it as long as possible.

🔥 Tips for even better copycat McDonald’s sauce

✅ Let it rest in the fridge: For a more intense taste, prepare your McDo sauce a few hours in advance. A rest of at least 30 minutes (ideally overnight) allows the flavors to develop properly.

✅ Adjust the texture: Too thick? Add a teaspoon of white vinegar or a drop of lemon juice. Too runny? A little more mayonnaise and your McDonald’s sauce will be perfect!

✅ Personalize it: For a sweeter version, add a touch of honey. For more kick, slightly increase the mustard and paprika. It’s that simple!

✅ Use the right ingredients: A crunchy sweet relish, rich mayonnaise and classic yellow mustard will give a more authentic taste.

🧊 How do you store your homemade copycat McDo sauce?

🗓️ Shelf life: Your McDo sauce will keep for up to 5 to 7 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

❄️ Do not freeze: As McDo sauce is mayonnaise-based, it does not stand up well to freezing and may separate.

🔄 Stir well before use: After a few days, some ingredients may separate slightly. A quick whisk will restore its creamy texture!

With these tips, your homemade copycat McDo sauce will always be fresh, tasty and ready to add a magical touch to your burgers and fries! 🍔🍟
