Gizzada is a traditional Jamaican pastry made from a crisp, pinched-edge crust filled with a sweet and spiced coconut mixture. The filling is typically caramelized with sugar and flavored with warm spices, creating a rich, sticky center that contrasts with the firm pastry shell. Popular as a snack or dessert, gizzadas are a staple of Jamaican bakeries and street food, reflecting the island’s use of coconut in sweet preparations.
