Pudding that’s prepared faster (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

afters

'pudding' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'prepared faster' is the wordplay.
'prepared' indicates an anagram.
'faster' is an anagram of 'AFTERS'.

'that's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for afters that I've seen before include "Dessert, sweet" , "Sweet course" , "Strafe with desserts" , "Possibly fools" , "Informal desserts may be faster" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
