How many letters?
9 letters
(Its not really a cryptic clue, its a word substitution plus a corroboration, disguised as a criptic.)
Heaven?
("devil" is spelled backwards, and a nun looks like she'd be quite at home in Heaven.)
EDIT: Hah, never mind, that isn't 9 letters.
you're being far too clever.
virginity?
inhabited
Yes.
So, back to your question.

I think the reference is beyond me. I have no idea what's implied by the ice cream.
A clue will eventually come along, if necessary.
What with this thread losing a bit of steam recently, my latest puzzle pretty much requiring a computer printout, and regulars being scattered across time zones, etc., it's hard to pace things well, as far as clues go.
Really, the best clue I could possibly give isn't in the puzzle at all.
Is this based on a code, Bill? Ie, d=a, f=n etc?
