(Must be logged into WW on a smartphone or tablet.) 4 PointsPlus (Old plan) You'll definitely want to use silken, or soft, tofu to make this mousse. Unlike regular tofu, silken tofu is sometimes packaged in aseptic boxes (also known as drink boxes) that do not need to be refrigerated. Because of this, you may find silken tofu in another part of your grocery store, apart from the refrigerated section which usually stores regular tofu.
