Puddings brought back under pressure (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stressed

'under pressure' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'puddings brought back' is the wordplay.
'puddings' becomes 'desserts' (I've seen this before).
'brought back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'desserts' reversed gives 'STRESSED'.

(Other definitions for stressed that I've seen before include "Insisted" , "Under great strain" , "overwrought" , "Accentuated or strained" , "anxious" .)
