Equipment

  • 9 inch springform round baking tin

Ingredients

Pie base

  • 180 grams Oreos (Gluten free) Approx. 20 Oreos
  • 120 grams Unsalted Butter Melted

Filling

  • 1.5 Ltr Mocha Ice Cream
  • 50 grams Sliced Almonds

Caramel Sauce

  • 120 grams Unsalted Butter
  • 120 grams Light Brown Sugar
  • 100 ML Heavy cream (Double Cream)

Fudge Sauce

  • 120 grams Dark Chocolate
  • 200 grams Fine White Sugar (AKA Caster Sugar)
  • 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
  • ⅛ Teaspoon Salt
  • 250 ML Heavy Cream (AKA Double Cream)

Instructions

How to make the pie base

  • Line the bottom and sides of your springform tin with parchment paper.
  • Remove the cream filling from the Oreos.
  • Place the Oreos cookies in a food bag and using a rolling pin or wooden spoon crush them until they resemble crumbs then add to a mixing bowl.
  • Melt the butter and add to the crumb mixture, Mix well until fully combined.
  • Transfer the mixture into your baking tin. Spread evenly and press down firmly on the crumb mixture until it feels firm and compact in the tin. Place in the fridge to set. I recommend leaving it to set in the fridge for around 1 hour.

Pie filling

  • Remove the ice cream from the freezer and allow it to soften slightly. You will want it to still be thick but be able to spread evenly on top of the pie base. (Do not allow the ice cream to turn to liquid as you will have a runny mess on your hands).
  • Once the ice cream has been spread evenly over the pie base decorate the edge of the pie by topping with the sliced almonds.
  • Wrap the pie tin with a couple of layers of plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 6 hours to set.

Caramel Sauce

  • In a non-stick pan over low heat melt butter and sugar until sugar is fully dissolved.
  • Add cream stirring continuously until bubbling and the sauce has thickened.
  • Remove from the heat and transfer to a jar or container and once cooled place in the refrigerator. The caramel sauce can be reheated in the microwave when you are ready to serve the pie.

Fudge Sauce

  • In a non-stick pan over low heat melt butter, sugar, cream, and chocolate until sugar is fully dissolved. Stirring continuously until slightly bubbling (Do not boil) and the sauce has thickened.
  • Once the sugar is fully dissolved remove the pan from the heat and transfer the sauce into a jar or container and once cooled place it in the refrigerator.
  • The fudge sauce can be reheated in the microwave when you are ready to serve the pie.

Assembling the pie

  • Once the pie is fully frozen and set release from the springform tin. Slice with a sharp knife.
  • Reheat the caramel and fudge sauce in the microwave and drizzle over the top of the pie using a spoon and serve immediately.

Notes

Storage - I find that cutting the Billy miner pie into individual slices and placing it in an airtight container and storing it in the freezer for up to 3 months. This makes it easier to remove a slice when you want a piece of the pie.
To make a taller Ice cream filling - To make a taller filling you can increase the amount of ice cream used in the filling to suit your desired pie height. 
Substitutions -
  • Chocolate cookie base - Instead of gluten free oreos you can use your preferred crunchy chocolate cookies. If you don't require the pie to be gluten free then regular Oreos will be fine.
  • Coffee Ice cream - You can also use any flavor of coffee ice cream if you can't find mocha ice cream. Cappuccino, espresso, or cafe latte just to name a few flavors.
  • Fudge and Caramel sauces - You can use ready-made sauce if you prefer.
  • Nut Free - If you require the pie to be nut free as almonds are a tree nut. You can leave the almonds out altogether. Alternatively, replace the almonds with chocolate curls or extra crushed Oreos for a little crunch on top.
