Coconut gizada

Jamaican Gizzada, also known as Grizzada, is a delectable coconut confection deeply rooted in Jamaican culinary heritage. It features a base of freshly grated coconut mixed with brown sugar, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla essence, creating a rich and aromatic blend of flavors. The mixture is cooked until it caramelizes, and nestled in in a buttery tort shell which results in a chewy and slightly crunchy texture. What distinguishes Gizada is its caramelized coconut coating, giving each piece a sweet and toasty exterior. Typically shaped into small star-shaped rounds, this treat offers a delightful contrast of sweet coconut, warm spices, and caramelized goodness in every bite.
