Take in, with the dessert (4)

I believe the answer is:

fool

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'take in' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'dessert' is the second definition.
(type of dessert)

'with the' is the link.

(Other definitions for fool that I've seen before include "Ass; a dessert" , "Part of 1 25 [KING LEAR]" , "Sweet - kid" , "Hoax" , "Charlie" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
