What Is Billy Miner Pie? 

Made popular by a restaurant called The Keg Steakhouse + Bar, Billy Miner Pie is simply an ice cream pie recipe. However, its name has a bit of a funny story. You see, according to legend, Bill Miner was Canada’s first train robber.

However, referred to as “the gentleman bandit,” it was said that Billy never used violence while committing his crimes. As a result, he became a sort of folktale hero, and the restaurant named their delicious pie after him. Whatever the reason, the recipe is crazy good, and we knew we had to recreate it! 

However, this cookie ice cream pie is a slight tweak on traditional Billy Miner pie. It offers the same creamy layers with the added goodness of Oreo cookies and chocolate chip cookie dough! Indulgent and refreshing, it’s sure to become one of your favorite summer desserts.

Ice Cream Pie Ingredients 

  • Butter – Butter helps add rich flavor to the pie crust while also holding the Oreo crumbs together. However, you can also substitute it with coconut oil. 
  • Oreo Cookies – For this recipe, we stick with regular chocolate Oreo cookies. Feel free to use a similar creme cookie if you prefer. 
  • Unsweetened Dark Chocolate – Dark chocolate helps add antioxidants and a super decadent taste. However, you could swap it out for milk chocolate instead. 
  • Granulated Sugar – Granulated sugar works best to sweeten up the bitterness of the dark chocolate. It dissolves easily into the mixture creating a smooth consistency.  
  • Evaporated Milk – Adding evaporated milk to the chocolate sauce helps thicken the sauce. It also creates a creamy texture and a richer taste.
  • Vanilla Extract – Don’t forget your vanilla! It’s crucial for bringing out the natural flavors of the rest of the ingredients. 
  • Ice Cream – A high-quality vanilla ice cream pairs perfectly with the chocolate sauce and cookies!  
  • Edible Cookie Dough – Make sure to use cookie dough made without eggs. This ensures the pie is completely safe to eat!

Time-Saving Tip: Feel free to buy a pre-made Oreo cookie crust from your local grocery store. This saves you the time and hassle of making it yourself.
