Ross

I believe the answer is:

trifle

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

This could be a double definition.

'dessert' is the first definition.
(trifle is a kind of dessert)

'small bit' is the second definition.
'trifle' can be an answer for 'bit' (I have seen 'A bit' mean 'trifle' so perhaps 'bit' could also mean 'trifle'). I am unsure of the 'small' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trifle that I've seen before include "A mere dessert?" , "Type of dessert" , "A little thing for the pudding" , "Pudding - trinket" , "Dessert - toy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
