"after" is absolutely right. First you eat the main course(s) and then you (eat)(have) dessert. "Everyone had dessert after they finished eating the main course(s)."
The other words could be used in the following sentences:
You shouldn't eat dessert while still eating the main courses. The children were given dessert because they ate all their vegetables. The children were not given dessert until they had finished eating the main courses. |
