One of our favorite desserts is Billy Miner Pie from the Keg. I decided to try and make it at home as a surprise for my husband. It was a huge hit, not too time intensive and absolutely delicious.
Here goes...
1. Take a bunch of GF chocolate cookies and grind them up in a blender (about 1 and 1/3 cups worth). Find something that is really close to a wafer - crispy with little moisture.
2. Melt about 1/3 cup butter and add it to the crumbs.
3. Place the mixture in the bottom of a spring form pan and freeze for 10 minutes or more.
4. As this is freezing, slightly thaw about 2-3 litres of cappuccino, espresso or coffee flavoured ice cream (I used a cappuccino flavoured frozen yogurt). Mash it about in a bowl so that you can then transfer it to the pan with the crust in it. Smooth the top, add some saran wrap on the top and pop it back into the freezer for a minimum of 3 hours.
5. Make all the stuff below.
All of the following can be made ahead. You will want to warm the sauces slightly in the microwave prior to serving.
Batch of Caramel Sauce: Really yummy caramel sauce and easy!

Batch of Fudge sauce: Unbelievably fast chocolate fudge sauce - and delicious. http://thecafesucrefarine.com/2014/09/best-ever-hot-fudge-sauce/ (tip a 100gram chocolate bar = 3.5 ounces of chocolate)
Batch of whipped cream (about 250 ml will do unless you want some for coffee the next day, then make more)
Toasted sliced almonds (about a cup)
6. About 10 minutes before you are going to serve, remove the cake from the freezer and warm the sauces.
7. Remove the outer rim of the springform pan and slice pieces of the cake. Garnish with chocolate sauce and caramel sauce, top with whipping cream and sprinkle the almonds.
YUMMY!!!
