Flan With Squash

This is a very popular dessert in Bulgaria and it is wayyyyy healthier than regular flan. My grandma and mom always made it when I was younger and I am so happy to be able to carry on this tradition! It is light, fluffy, and completely guilt free! Enjoy this deliciousness with a smile on your face! xx
