Dessert that’s cold and wet I care about (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
water ice
'dessert' is the definition.
(water ice is a kind of dessert)
'wet i care about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'wet'+'i'+'care'='weticare'
'weticare' with letters rearranged gives 'WATER-ICE'.
'that's cold and' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for water ice that I've seen before include "Sorbet's the answer" , "Sorbet" .)
