Eric came round for dessert (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ice cream

'dessert' is the definition.
(ice cream is a kind of dessert)

'eric came round' is the wordplay.
'round' indicates anagramming the letters.
'eric'+'came'='ericcame'
'ericcame' with letters rearranged gives 'ICE-CREAM'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for ice cream that I've seen before include "Dish" , "Frozen desert" , "Creamy frozen confection, best in summer" , "Cold dessert" , "dessert will appear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
