I believe the answer is:

sorbet

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

'iced dessert' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'solidified state round sphere' is the wordplay.
'solidified state' becomes 'set' (set is a kind of state. I am not sure about the 'solidified' bit.).
'round' is an insertion indicator.
'sphere' becomes 'orb' (orb is a kind of sphere).
'set' enclosing 'orb' is 'SORBET'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sorbet that I've seen before include "Sherbet, water-ice" , "Frozen dessert" , "Strobe (anag.)" , "A flavoured water-ice served between courses" , "Flavoured water ice" .)
