Dessert is a triumph, cooked without a measure of acidity? (8)
I believe the answer is:
tiramisu
'dessert' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'is a triumph cooked without a measure of acidity?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'is' is found in the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
'measure' could be 't' (T is an example) and 't' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tiramisu that I've seen before include "Dessert soaked in alcohol" , "Rich Italian dessert" , "for which damp sponge is needed" , "Dessert (Italian "pick me up")" , "Sweet" .)
