Energy lacking in distribution of ice-creams in pots (8)
I believe the answer is:
ceramics
'pots' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ceramics that I've seen before include "Pottery, etc" , "Potter's products" , "Andy -, US artist, filmmaker" , "pots" , "Items of fired clay" .)
