Clear I cooked a rich dessert (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eclair

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

'a rich dessert' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'clear i cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates anagramming the letters.
'clear'+'i'='cleari'
'cleari' is an anagram of 'ECLAIR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eclair that I've seen before include "Food" , "Chocolate-topped, cream-filled cake" , "Choux pastry cream cake" , "something at teatime?" , "Soft cream cake" .)
