Joanne Chang's Flour is filled with sweets that conjure up all sorts of childhood nostalgia. This Milky Way Tart is a fun play on the candy—a milk chocolate mousse-filled tart that brings together all of those great flavors.

In the world of fancy-pants baking, milk chocolate often gets left behind in flavor of more complex dark chocolate. But for this tart, Chang incorporates milk chocolate into a light and fluffy mousse with subtle hints of coffee. Layered into a crisp pâte sucrée crust that's been coated with gooey caramel, and topped with drizzles of even more caramel and curls of shaved milk chocolate, this tart really is an updated candy bar in spoonable form.
