Take in the dessert (4)

I believe the answer is:

fool

I believe this is a double definition.

'take in' is the first definition.
('fool' can be a synonym of 'take in')

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

(Other definitions for fool that I've seen before include "One and his money are soon parted" , "` `More people know Tom .... that Tom .... knows' '" , "Dessert of pureed fruit and cream" , "Jester - dessert" , "Trifle" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
