Gizzada is a traditional Jamaican pastry featuring a crisp, pinched-edge shell filled with grated coconut cooked in brown sugar, ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon, creating a chewy, spiced filling. Sometimes called “pinch-me-round”, it originated from Jamaican colonial-era baking and is especially popular in rural bakeries and market stalls across the island. The combination of warm spices and sweet coconut captures the essence of Jamaican home-style desserts.
Common variations include fillings with molasses or lime zest for extra depth and aroma.
