Pudding confusion at posh boys’ school (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eton mess

'pudding' is the definition.
(Eton mess is a dessert)

'confusion at posh boys' school' is the wordplay.
'confusion' becomes 'mess' (I've seen this before).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'posh boys' school' becomes 'eton' (English private school).
'mess' after 'eton' is 'ETON MESS'.

(Another definition for eton mess that I've seen is " Sweet".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
