When it comes to ingredients, feel free to swap margarine for butter, which can add a richer flavor. If you’re sensitive to gluten, look for gluten-free biscuit options available at many grocery stores. For a cream cheese alternative, a soft tofu or dairy-free cream cheese can work well for those with dairy allergies or dietary preferences, making the puffs accessible for various diets.
