Tart with coconut filling From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gizzada

Gizzada, also referred to as pinch-me-round, is an indigenous pastry in Jamaican cuisine. The tart is contained in a small, crisp pastry shell with a pinched crust and filled with a sweet and spiced coconut filling. It bears semblance to Portuguese queijada, from which it takes its name. [1] Gizzada was contributed by Portuguese Jews[2][3] who went to Jamaica during the inquisition.
