Woman's tucked into ridiculously pricey dessert (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cherry pie

'dessert' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'woman's tucked into ridiculously pricey' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'her' (her refers to a woman).
'tucked into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ridiculously' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'pricey' with letters rearranged gives 'crypie'.
'her' put within 'crypie' is 'CHERRY-PIE'.

(Other definitions for cherry pie that I've seen before include "Garden plant - fruit dish with 15" , "Dessert" , "fragrant flower" , "Sweet" , "A pudding; a heliotrope" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
