sundae

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

'make this with ice cream' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'and use nuts' is the wordplay.
'nuts' indicates an anagram (nuts can mean crazy).
'and'+'use'='anduse'
'anduse' with letters rearranged gives 'SUNDAE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sundae that I've seen before include "Type of dessert" , "A lush ice-cream - sounds Sabbatical" , "Confection for the weekend" , "'Ice cream topped with fruit, nuts and syrup (6)'" , "Ice-cream/nut etc. dish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
