Gizzada

Gizzada, also known as pinch-me-round, is a beloved Jamaican coconut tart with Portuguese origins dating back to the colonial era. A shortcrust pastry shell is pinched into a decorative fluted edge, then filled with a sweet, spiced mixture of freshly grated coconut, brown sugar, ginger, and nutmeg. The tart is baked until the filling is sticky and caramelized and the pastry is golden and crumbly.
