Desserts of fried plantains gobbled up by bachelors (6,6)
I believe the answer is:
banana splits
'desserts' is the definition.
(banana split is a kind of dessert)
'fried plantains gobbled up by bachelors' is the wordplay.
'fried' is an anagram indicator.
'gobbled up by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'bachelors' becomes 'bas' (people with Bachelor of Arts degrees).
'plantains' is an anagram of 'nanasplit'.
'nanasplit' going within 'bas' is 'BANANA SPLITS'.
'of' acts as a link.
(Another definition for banana splits that I've seen is " desserts".)
