Silken Tofu Measurement Converter
Use the tool below to convert silken tofu from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.
Silken tofu is the softest grade of tofu, with a custard-like texture and high water content. One metric cup (250 ml), once blended smooth, weighs around 250 grams or 8.82 ounces. It blends into a silky cream for vegan cheesecakes, mousses, and dressings, and works as an egg substitute (1/4 cup blended per egg) in dense cakes and brownies.
Silken tofu sells in 300 g or 349 g packs, but recipes usually call for cups. Converting between weight and volume tells you how much of a pack to use without scrambling for a bigger measuring cup mid-bake.
