Turning fit on Earl Grey, for example, bypassing every dessert (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peach melba

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

'turning fit on earl grey' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'example bypassing every dessert' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'every' could be 'each' (synonyms) and 'each' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for peach melba that I've seen before include "Ice cream dish with fruit" , "Sweet" , "fruity dessert" , "Dame Nellie's dish" .)
