Rewritten — as lecture — short and sweet (9,5)
I believe the answer is:
charlotte russe
'sweet' is the definition.
(charlotte russe is a kind of sweet)
'rewritten as lecture short' is the wordplay.
'rewritten' indicates an anagram.
'as'+'lecture'+'short'='aslectureshort'
'aslectureshort' is an anagram of 'CHARLOTTE RUSSE'.
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for charlotte russe that I've seen before include "dessert" , "Lady's fingers cupping cream" , "Sponge and custard pudding" , "afters?" , "dish" .)
