Who is Billy Miner, anyway? And why is this pie named after him?
The inspiration for this recipe came from a Canadian restaurant chain called The Keg Steakhouse + Bar. The pie recipe is named after a notorious train robber, Billy Miner. He’s a famous criminal who operated in the late 19th century in the Western United States and Canada. He became known as “The Gentleman Bandit” due to his polite demeanor during robberies.
Why name the pie after him? The colors in the mocha ice cream, caramel, and chocolate on the chocolate crust resemble the colors of Billy Miner’s beard and mustache. The dessert is a tribute to his notoriety and has become a delicious homage to his legacy. Kind of fun, huh?
How to make Billy Miner pie: ingredients + step by step:
First make the crust:
- Pulse 21 Oreos (centers removed) in a food processor or blender.
- Add melted butter. Blend some more.
- Smash the mixture, evenly, onto the bottom of a springform pan.
- Freeze until it’s sold (at least 30 minutes).
Then make the pie:
- Blend ice cream and heavy cream in a blender until smooth.
- Spread it over the oreo crust.
- Freeze for 6 hours. Or until it’s totally solid, overnight is probably best, unless you’re in a hurry to eat it.
- Drizzle caramel and chocolate fudge around the edges of the pie, top with some slivered almonds.
- Serve it up with some whipped cream and extra chocolate drizzle.
That’s it. It’s really easy to make. And it looks fancy.
Serving ideas
This pie is fabulous to serve at BBQs, adult birthday parties, or make it for your husband for a little at-home-date-night. Not only is it delicious but it looks like it’s more difficult to make than it is.
FAQs
HOW TO TRAVEL WITH FROZEN ICE CREAM CAKE?
I just don’t recommend doing this. If you want to make this ahead of time, and you absolutely must travel with it, I recommend wrapping it in dry ice and transporting it in a YETI cooler, then placing it into the freezer for at least 1-3 hours when you get to your destination before serving it.
