I believe the answer is:

pie

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

'as dessert' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'sounds very good' is the wordplay.
'sounds' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'very good' becomes 'pi' (I've seen this in other clues).
'pi' sounds like 'PIE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pie that I've seen before include "Irrational things to do with circles and logs" , "what to cook for dinner?" , "In the sky, it's an empty promise" , "Covered flan" , "See 6" .)
