Be dreamily infatuated about a vehicle in light biscuit (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

macaroon

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

'be dreamily infatuated about a vehicle' is the wordplay.
'be dreamily infatuated' becomes 'moon' (as in mooning over somebody you fancy).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'a'+'car'='acar'
'moon' going around 'acar' is 'MACAROON'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for macaroon that I've seen before include "Something nutty to enjoy" , "Sweet bit of food" , "Type of biscuit" , "Biscuit of egg-white and almonds or coconut" , "Almond or coconut biscuit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
