Dessert pudding (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tapioca

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'pudding' is the second definition.
(tapioca pudding is a kind of pudding)

(Other definitions for tapioca that I've seen before include "I act OAP (anag) - edible substance made from cassava" , "Starch from cassava used in making puddings" , "it thickens" , "Pudding made from an extract of cassava" , "Foodstuff used as a thickener" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the Newsday.com and the L.A. Times Daily.
