Ingredients
For the Tart Base
• 1 cup almonds
• ½ cup soft dates
• ¼ cup desiccated coconut
• 1 tbsp cacao powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
For the Chocolate Apple Filling
• 2 medium apples
• 40–50 g dark chocolate
• 1 scoop Prolicious UP It
• Pinch of salt

Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Tart Base
Add almonds, soft dates, desiccated coconut, cacao powder, salt, and coconut oil to a jar.
Blend until the mixture becomes sticky and holds together when pressed.

Press the mixture evenly into a tart tin or small tart moulds.

Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to firm up.
Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Apple Filling
Wash, peel, and dice the apples into small pieces.
Add apple, melted dark chocolate and 1 scoop of Prolicious UP It to a jar.

Add a pinch of salt and mash lightly to create a chunky apple mixture.
Blend everything.

Step 3: Assemble the Tart
Remove the chilled tart base from the refrigerator.
Spoon the chocolate apple filling into the tart shell and spread evenly.

Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until set.
Step 4: Serve
Slice and serve chilled.
Garnish with grated dark chocolate, berries, chopped almonds, or coconut flakes if desired.

Why UP It Makes This Chocolate Tart Better
Most chocolate desserts are designed around one thing taste.
And while there's nothing wrong with that, they often provide very little protein and don't keep you satisfied for very long.
That's where UP It changes the recipe.
Made from whole moong flour and defatted peanut flour, UP It adds plant-based protein and fibre to the creamy chocolate filling without changing the flavour profile.
Each scoop contributes approximately 6.7 g protein and 2.7 g fibre, making it an easy way to upgrade everyday recipes.
The best part is that it blends seamlessly into the apple and chocolate mixture.
You still get the rich chocolate flavour you want, but with added protein and fibre that help make the dessert feel more satisfying.
It's proof that healthier desserts don't need to sacrifice taste.
Why This Chocolate Tart Is Higher in Protein
Many no-bake desserts rely on biscuits, cream, condensed milk, or refined ingredients.
This tart takes a different approach.
The protein comes primarily from UP It, which is made using whole moong flour and defatted peanut flour.
The almonds in the tart base also contribute additional plant protein, healthy fats, and fibre.
Together, these ingredients help create a dessert that offers more nutritional value than many traditional chocolate tarts.
The combination of protein, fibre, and healthy fats can also help promote satiety, making this dessert feel more satisfying after eating.
That's one reason it works well as an occasional snack, post-meal dessert, or evening sweet treat.
How This Recipe Can Fit Into a PCOS-Friendly Lifestyle
One challenge many women with PCOS talk about is managing sweet cravings.
Completely avoiding desserts often sounds good in theory.
In reality, it can sometimes make cravings even stronger.
That's why balanced desserts can be useful.
This tart combines fibre from dates, apples, almonds, and coconut with protein from UP It.
One reason UP It works particularly well in recipes like this is because it combines protein and fibre in a convenient form.
Pairing naturally sweet ingredients such as dates and apples with protein-rich foods can help create a more balanced dessert compared to recipes that rely entirely on refined flour and sugar.
While no single dessert can treat PCOS, choosing recipes that contain protein, fibre, and wholesome ingredients can be a practical way to build more sustainable eating habits.
Tips & Variations
Add More Chocolate
Love rich chocolate desserts?
Drizzle melted dark chocolate over the tart before serving for an extra indulgent finish.
Add Nut Butter
A spoonful of natural peanut butter or almond butter blended into the filling creates an even creamier texture.
Try Different Fruits
While apples work beautifully in this recipe, pears can also create a delicious filling.
Add Crunch
Top the tart with chopped almonds, walnuts, or cacao nibs for added texture.
Make Mini Tartlets
Preparing individual tartlets makes serving easier and creates a café-style presentation.

Not significantly.

Smart Takeaway

Combined with almonds, dates, coconut, and apples, it creates a dessert that's not only delicious but also more balanced than many traditional sweets.
