Coconut cream was added to soymilk at 0, 4.7, 9.0, 16.6, 33.3, and 50% levels prior to coagulation with calcium sulfate. The protein and moisture content of the tofu decreased while fat increased with increasing levels of added coconut cream. The percent yield of tofu did not increase up to 4.7% added coconut cream but increased significantly when 9.0% or more coconut cream was added to soymilk. Hardness, springiness, cohesiveness and gumminess were increased by low levels of added coconut cream and decreased with high levels of coconut cream. This simple technology of coconut cream enrichment increased the caloric density of the tofu without affecting its acceptability.
