Blame cheap mixture for fruity dessert (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peach melba

'fruity dessert' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'blame cheap mixture' is the wordplay.
'mixture' indicates anagramming the letters.
'blame'+'cheap'='blamecheap'
'blamecheap' with letters rearranged gives 'PEACH MELBA'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for peach melba that I've seen before include "Ice cream dish with fruit" , "Dame Nellie's dish" , "Sweet" , "fruity dessert" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
