Tikvenjak

Tikvenjak is a flavorful Croatian and Bosnian pie that is inexpensive and easy to prepare. It consists of a thin dough filled with chopped or grated gourd that is usually flavored with sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. The dish is shaped like a strudel, and it is baked in an oven until golden-brown in color.

Tikvenjak is often topped with a combination of sour cream and eggs before baking in order to make it juicier. Before serving, the pie is cut into pieces and it is often sprinkled with powdered sugar.
