Dessert to suit lovers (11)
I believe the answer is:
sweethearts
'lovers' is the definition.
(sweetheart is a kind of lover)
'dessert to suit' is the wordplay.
'dessert' becomes 'sweet' ('sweet' can be a synonym of 'dessert').
'to suit' becomes 'hearts' (I've seen this before).
'sweet'+'hearts'='SWEETHEARTS'
(Other definitions for sweethearts that I've seen before include "lovers" , "They love" , "Loves" , "darlings!" .)
