When making No Bake Peanut Butter Fudge Cheesecake, consider using natural peanut butter for a healthier twist, though it may alter the texture slightly. For those with allergies, dairy-free cream cheese and whipped toppings can be excellent substitutes. If powdered sugar is not available, granulated sugar can be blended until fine, although it may change the sweetness level slightly. Always check labels for any allergens in pre-packaged items like the cookie crust or brownie mix.
