For those looking to switch things up, you might consider using gluten-free cookies instead of vanilla wafers and Oreos. Keep in mind that different brands of cream cheese can vary in moisture, so it’s best to choose a quality brand for a smooth texture. If you have any dairy allergies, there are great alternatives for cream cheese and Cool Whip available, ensuring everyone can enjoy the treat.
