Last of trifle in a sort of ceramic dish for dessert (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
ice cream
'dish for dessert' is the definition.
'ice cream' can be an answer for 'dish' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'for dessert' bit.
'last of trifle in a sort of ceramic' is the wordplay.
'last of' suggests the final letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'a sort of' indicates anagramming the letters.
The last letter of 'trifle' is 'e'.
'ceramic' anagrammed gives 'iccream'.
'e' going into 'iccream' is 'ICE-CREAM'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ice cream that I've seen before include "chilling creation" , "Cool summer confection" , "Cold confection" , "Eric came to get confection" , "Hot day treat" .)
