Every month, ZuZu—the signature restaurant at Hotel Valley Ho—serves up a unique, over-the-top "Show Stopper" shake. This month's tasty treat, created by Clarissa Robinson, pastry chef of Hotel Vally Ho, is an ode to October.
"October is the month of everything pumpkin spice and candy, and I wanted to combine the two into a delightfully over-the-top treat," she says.
Named the Pumpkin Smash "Show Stopper" Shake, the creation includes both chocolate and vanilla ice cream, salted caramel, peanut butter, pumpkin spice mix, pumpkin purée, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Reese’s Pieces, peanut butter chocolate drops and a chocolate candy pumpkin on top.
"I love that it’s super fun and festive!" Clarissa says. "It’s entertaining to smash the little pumpkin open and watch the candy spill out."
ZuZu recently underwent a complete revamp and is celebrating its grand reopening this month. The restaurant is a modern take on the classic all-American restaurant of the 1950s. Although it features a new interior and redesigned menus, the ever-popular and ever-changing "Show Stopper" shakes will always be a menu staple. HotelValleyHo.com
