Why do they call it Billy Miner Pie?

Billy Miner was Canada’s first train robber, known as the “gentleman bandit” because he apparently committed his crimes without violence.

He was considered something of a Robinhood figure of his time and was regaled by many as a hero.

The barrel named their signature dessert in honor of Billy, and it is generally considered one of the best desserts on the menu.

Ingredients you will need:

Oreo cookies, crushed
Butter
Coffee ice cream (or mocha or cappuccino flavor)
sliced almonds
caramel sauce

Laying out the ingredients needed to make a copy of the Billy Miner pie, including Oreo cookie crumbs, butter, mocha ice cream, sliced almonds, caramel sauce, and chocolate sauce.

How to do it:

Make the crust. In a mixing bowl, combine cookie crumbs and melted butter, stirring to combine.

Press into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan. Freeze for about 30 minutes and allow the ice cream to soften during this time.

Fill the crust. Spread the softened ice cream evenly over the prepared Oreo crust. Sprinkle the slivered almonds over the ice cream layer.

Water and freeze. Drizzle the top of the pie with caramel sauce and chocolate sauce, then transfer to the freezer for at least 6 hours.

Alternatively, you can wait to drizzle the sauces until the pie is frozen.

Serve. When you’re ready to serve, you can let the pie sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before slicing.

A hot knife is also useful for slicing the pie while it’s frozen!

You may want to let individual slices rest for a few minutes before serving, just to soften a bit.

Or dive right in, it’s up to you! 🙂

Notes and adaptations:

You can use a food processor to crush the cookies into crumbs or place the cookies in a zip lock bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. Sometimes you can also find Oreo baking crumbs at your local grocery store.
If you need this recipe to be nut-free, just omit the sliced almonds.
We recommend using good quality ice cream. Sometimes the coffee flavored options are a little harder to find, so they might be labeled as mocha ice cream, coffee ice cream, cappuccino ice cream, etc.
A standard container of ice cream in grocery stores is 48 ounces. We usually call this a “half gallon” of ice cream because in the past standard containers were actually half a gallon. Nowadays they are more like 1.5 liters.

Preparation time
5 minutes

Additional time
6 hours 30 minutes

Total time
6 hours 35 minutes

Ingredients

For the pie dough:
3 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
6 tablespoons butter, melted
For the pie filling:
48 oz mocha or coffee ice cream
½ cup sliced almonds
For garnish :
¼ cup caramel sauce
¼ cup chocolate sauce

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter until evenly moistened.
Press the mixture into a 9 inch springform pan and freeze for 30 minutes. Let the ice cream soften during this time.
Spread the softened ice cream evenly over the prepared crust, then sprinkle the sliced almonds over the ice cream layer.
Drizzle with caramel and chocolate sauce (alternatively, you can wait to drizzle the sauces until the pie is frozen, just before serving).

Remarks

You can use a food processor to crush the cookies into crumbs or place the cookies in a zip lock bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. Sometimes you can also find Oreo baking crumbs at your local grocery store.

You can also buy an Oreo pie crust at some stores, which can save you time. It can’t hold that much ice cream, but should be close enough.

If you need this recipe to be nut-free, just omit the sliced almonds.

We recommend using good quality ice cream. Sometimes the coffee flavored options are a little harder to find, so they might be labeled as mocha ice cream, coffee ice cream, cappuccino ice cream, etc.
