Dessert is deformed when cooked (10)
I believe the answer is:
semifreddo
'dessert' is the definition.
(semifreddo matches up with the definition dessert)
'is deformed when cooked' is the wordplay.
'when cooked' indicates anagramming the letters.
'is'+'deformed'='isdeformed'
'isdeformed' is an anagram of 'SEMIFREDDO'.
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
