A good sort of heated palm-fruit (3,4)

I believe the answer is:

hot date

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a good sort' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'heated palm-fruit' is the wordplay.
'heated' becomes 'hot' (similar in meaning).
'palm fruit' becomes 'date' (I've seen this before).
'hot'+'date'='HOT DATE'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for hot date that I've seen is " Meeting for romance".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
