Selection includes cold small desserts (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

choc ices

'desserts' is the definition.
(choc-ice is a kind of dessert)

'selection includes cold small' is the wordplay.
'selection' becomes 'choice' (synonyms).
'includes' indicates putting letters inside.
'cold' becomes 'c' (eg on taps).
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'choice' enclosing 'c' is 'chocice'.
'chocice'+'s'='CHOC-ICES'

(Another definition for choc ices that I've seen is " treats from the freezer".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
