Whats the difference between firm and silken tofu?

hello everyone and happy thanksgiving! I was wondering whats the difference between firm tofu, and silken tofu? Im trying to make a vegan-friendly chocolate mousse for my family so they are more open minded towards my vegan choice.

The only real difference between firm (cotton) tofu and silk (soft) tofu is the amount of liquid removed after curdling the soymilk. You can also produce different textures (and tastes) by using different coagulants (Nigari).

For a mousse silk would normally be used but firm is also ok, you'd just need to add a little more liquid and blend longer to 'break up' the tofu bits (or settle for a 'snowy' mousse).

When feeding 'normal' people tofu desserts I'd suggest adding a little more sweetener than normal and boost the cocoa in your mousse. It makes it more like they're used to.

But now this book makes cooking with tofu fun and tasty for everyone.
