Gizzada
Jamaican pinched shortbread tarts filled with sweet, warmly spiced fresh coconut.
About Gizzada
Gizzada, also called pinch-me-round, is a classic Jamaican open-faced coconut tart. This profile follows the fresh-coconut branch in a buttery hand-pinched shortbread shell.
Brown sugar sweetens the coconut while ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon and vanilla give a warm aromatic depth. Salted butter brings gentle savoury contrast to the crust.
Each small tart has a golden, flaky cup with a distinctly pleated rim and a dark, chewy coconut filling visible in the centre.
