Unaccompanied by the best topping (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

single cream

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

'topping' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'unaccompanied by the best' is the wordplay.
'unaccompanied' becomes 'single' (I've seen this before).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the best' becomes 'cream' (as in 'the cream of the crop').
'single'+'cream'='SINGLE CREAM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for single cream that I've seen before include "food" , "Dairy product; cleans grime (anagram)" , "emerges from the dairy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
