Sweet rice came cooked (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
ice cream
'sweet' is the definition.
(ice cream is a kind of sweet)
'rice came cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates an anagram.
'rice'+'came'='ricecame'
'ricecame' with letters rearranged gives 'ICE-CREAM'.
(Other definitions for ice cream that I've seen before include "Cold confection" , "Frozen desert" , "Cold dessert" , "Cool confection, sweet frozen dessert" , "Eric came to get confection" .)
