Recipe Notes
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.Silken tofu helps provide the creamy texture of this mousse and is a suitable replacement for dairy in many vegan/vegetarian recipes. Many dairy-free salad dressings, sauces and desserts will sometimes use puréed silken tofu to help with the thickening and getting to the desired level of creaminess.Serving size: 1 strawberry mousse (about 6 ounces)6*SmartPoints (Green plan)5*SmartPoints (Blue plan)5*SmartPoints (Purple plan)4*PointsPlus (Old plan)Click here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.
