Dessert that’s frozen, or best whipped (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sorbet

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

'dessert' is the definition.
(sorbet is a kind of dessert)

'or best whipped' is the wordplay.
'whipped' indicates an anagram.
'or'+'best'='orbest'
'orbest' anagrammed gives 'SORBET'.

'that's frozen' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sorbet that I've seen before include "Fruit juice and water ice" , "Frozen dessert" , "Icy dessert" , "Mushy ice drink to cleanse the palate" , "Sweet" .)
