There are a few spead recipes from The Garden of Vegan and Where It All Vegan I would like to make that call for "soft or medium tofu". Could I use Firm SILKEN tofu (mori nu) instead? One of the spreads is vegan cream cheese. (I'm sick of paying top $$ for it in the store)

Silken tofu works wonderfully in most "spread" recipes. When using frim silken I make sure to whizz it in the blender first even if the recipe doesn't call for it.

Which should I use for cream cheese, soft or firm? For some reason I feel like firm silken would be like soft regular. Is this true?

Silken is a very different texture from regular to begin with, so there aren't really equivilencies between the two.
