"It is so easy to make silken tofu at home that I just don’t know what’s the reason for selling it in the supermarkets, and there are also so many applications to it.
You can silken tofu to your soup, or make a salad dressing with it ala Aioli. You can also have Silken Tofu as a desert. Which is the way it is presented on the picture here.
Enjoy!"

Method
Step 1
In a large, sealable container, add dry soybeans and enough water to cover by 3 inches. Cover and soak overnight in the fridge.

Strain the soybeans, discarding the liquid. Place the strained soaked beans in a blender, and add 5 cups of water. Blend on high and strain through a cheese cloth, squeezing out as much soy milk out as possible.

Remove from the heat and bring the soy milk to room temperature.

Add ¼ teaspoon of gypsum to 1 tablespoon of water, mix to dissolve completely. Add this mixture to 1 cup of soy milk and it should dissolve completely.
Step 6
Set up a steamer basket and steam the containers with tofu for 10-15 minutes, until they set.
Step 7
Cool down tofu in room temperature, then refrigerate.
