thanks for sharing this! there's a similar version in west Africa (everywhere really) called puff puff, but the squash addition sounds so velvety. do you know of a good recipe?
You are welcome! My grandmother used to make this Afroperuvian dessert often, and also sold it in the streets. Her recipe was pretty much like the one in the post, a bit of this, a bit of that, cooking notes that only a creole cook can craft into something magical.
wait, of course, the recipe is there--i mistakenly assumed it was a photo and skipped over its text. thanks for the taking the time to add that, very excited to try!

Oh...how wonderful it would be to visit Lima someday and enjoy Picarones, freshly made and served somewhere on a colorful street...
