Clean-eating dessert suggestions?

It seems that after eating dinner, I am not satisfied until I have something sweet (fruit doesn't cut it for me). I am trying to eat clean, so no processed foods. Does anyone have suggestions? I have been eating my Bear Naked cookies everyday, but am wanting some variety.

I keep cut up mango and pineapple in baggies in the freezer. When I need a treat I blend some with a little almond milk (can use regular) and agave syrup (can use honey or maple syrup) in a mini food processor. Comes out like soft sorbet. Yum!0
