How to Make No Bake Milky Way Tarts

  1. Place tart shells on a rimmed baking tray.
  2. **Midnight Layer:** In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, combine chopped Milky Way Midnight bars, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and butter.
  3. Stir constantly with a whisk until the candy bars, chips, and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly into the prepared tart shells. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 days, until firm.
  5. **Milky Way Topping:** In a separate small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, combine chopped regular Milky Way bar and 1 1/2 tablespoons of cold heavy cream.
  6. Stir constantly with a whisk until the candy bar is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  7. Refrigerate the melted Milky Way mixture for 15 minutes to cool slightly.
  8. In a large bowl, beat the remaining 2 cups of cold heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  9. Pour the cooled melted Milky Way mixture over the whipped cream.
  10. Gently fold the melted Milky Way mixture into the whipped cream until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  11. Transfer the whipped cream mixture to a piping bag (or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off).
  12. Pipe the whipped cream mixture in a spiral pattern onto the chilled Midnight layer in each tart shell.
  13. Garnish with cut-up Kit Kat pieces just before serving.
  14. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Enjoy!
