Easy and Clean Desserts?

I've lost 55 pounds since January 1st, and have recently adopted a clean-eating lifestyle. One thing that I've noticed since changing my eating habits is that I no longer crave salty snacks, instead I want something sweet! And not fruit either, I get enough of that and would like some suggestions for clean desserts. Anyone have any good, easy recipes?

I've seen some interesting ones on Pinterest. I haven't tried any yet, but they look yummy!
Here are a few I found. These claim to be clean... I'm still learning, so I'm going to take their word for it.

I'm going to make vanilla ice cream today with stevia, not the stevia/sugar blend. Ice cream shouldn't need volume from the sugar, so it should be ok.
I use dairy from a local organic/grassfed dairy/creamery that doesn't homogenize and the product is wonderful. The cream has a very high butterfat content and no gum for thickening. I'll let you know how it turns out.0 -
I was really hoping more people would respond to this!
Not a recipe, but I try to hide some dark chocolate away in the back of the pantry (so I don't see it every time I open the door). It's there when I get a craving, I eat a square or chop up a square and add it to my trail mix or granola. The longer I go without sweets the less I seem to need to satisfy that craving. Plus I really savour that square! I have tried a few recipes that use cocoa powder and have never been satisfied with the results. I don't think chocolate in general is very "clean", seems to be quite a bit of processing no matter what form you get it in. A spoonful of peanut butter or sunbutter is another thing I'll reach for now and then, but usually a cup of fruit or mint tea is enough after dinner.
I haven't had the chance to try this recipe, but it claims to help with sweet cravings- its basically butter (or a combo of butter and coconut oil), honey, and peppermint.

I drink a shake (chocolate yum!) daily that is very nutrient dense. Oh and it's actually a powder so I make healthy sweet snacks with it like pudding and oatmeal cookies. It's very versatile and gives me the sweet I want without anything bad that goes along with it :-)0
