Dessert ingredient produces a tingle (7)
I believe the answer is:
gelatin
'dessert ingredient' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'produces a tingle' is the wordplay.
'produces' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'producing' mean this).
'a'+'tingle'='atingle'
'atingle' anagrammed gives 'GELATIN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gelatin that I've seen before include "Substance used in glue and cooking" , "Jelling agent" , "Colourless protein - edible jelly" , "something gluey" , "Tag line (anag.); glue" .)
