Sweet rice came out of it (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ice cream

'sweet' is the definition.
(ice cream is a kind of sweet)

'rice came out of it' is the wordplay.
'out of it' indicates an anagram (out of it can mean confused or distracted).
'rice'+'came'='ricecame'
'ricecame' with letters rearranged gives 'ICE-CREAM'.

(Other definitions for ice cream that I've seen before include "interval treat required?" , "dessert will appear" , "Sweet frozen food" , "chilling creation" , "Hot day treat" .)
