Jamaican Gizzada
Jamaican crisp pastry cases filled with sweet, spiced coconut. The quantities make approximately 8 servings; hands-on time and serving size are estimates.
Gizzada, also called pinch-me-round, pairs a pastry case with pinched edges and a coconut filling. In this version, the dough chills while the filling cooks; allow about 35 minutes of preparation, 45 minutes of cooking, and 30 minutes of resting.
