I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ice cream' is the definition.
(I know that Tutti-frutti is a type of ice cream)

'tsk flipping tantrum routine and it's upturned' is the wordplay.
'tsk' becomes 'tut' (I've seen this in another clue).
'flipping tantrum' becomes 'tif' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'routine' becomes 'rut' (being stuck in a rut is being stuck in a routine).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'upturned' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'it' back-to-front is 'ti'.
'tut'+'tif'+'rut'+'ti'='TUTTI-FRUTTI'

Can you help me to learn more?
