Gluten-Free Variation: Substitute the flour and almond flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure your baking powder is gluten-free as well.

Vegan Variation: Replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water for each egg). Use dairy-free alternatives for butter, milk, and cream cheese like vegan butter, almond milk, and vegan cream cheese respectively. Opt for agar-agar instead of gelatin for the Namelaka.
