What is Silken Tofu?
Silken tofu is a type of tofu with a smooth, creamy texture. It is made by coagulating soy milk, but unlike regular (or “firm”) tofu, it is not pressed to remove excess moisture.
This results in a softer, more delicate consistency. Silken tofu is often used in dishes where a creamy texture is desired, such as smoothies, puddings, soups, sauces, and desserts.
It comes in various consistencies, ranging from “soft” to “extra firm,” with the softer varieties being particularly smooth and delicate.
Silken tofu is versatile and can be blended easily into recipes, and it has a mild or neutral flavour that absorbs the taste of whatever it is mixed with. It is also commonly used as a dairy substitute in vegan and vegetarian cooking.
As we can see above, silken tofu recipes are versatile, ranging from vegan ommletes to chocolate mousse.
- SMOOTH, SOFT, AND CREAMY: Exceptionally smooth and delicate, this silken tofu is never spongy or porous. It melts effortlessly into sauces, dips, dressings, and smoothies, delivering a clean, mild taste with minimal beany flavor.
- BLENDS AND THICKENS WITHOUT DAIRY: A plant-based alternative to cream or milk. Silky and soft, it blends into thick, smooth sauces, dips, and soups, offering rich, dairy-free creaminess. Perfect for both sweet and savory creations.
