Gizzada
Gizzada or Grizzada, also referred to as pinch-me-round, and known as Queijada in the Portuguese language, is a pastry in Jamaican cuisine and Portuguese cuisine. Haitians also have a version but their tart filling is less than other Gizzadas. The tart is contained in a small, crisp pastry shell with a pinched crust and filled with a sweet and spiced coconut filling. Trinidad also has a similar treat referred to as the Coconut Tart.
