Puddin’ by Clio, a new dessert shop offering pudding, parfaits, cakes and pies, will open on St. Marks Place today at 11 a.m. Clio Goodman, 23, the founder and executive chef, has enlisted her mom, Hevra, as sous chef. “We’ll be here until midnight,” said mom as she made preparations days before opening, making phone calls and taking orders from her daughter.
Puddings, which cost between $5.50 and $12.50, include creamy butterscotch (made with actual scotch), vanilla (made with Madagascar vanilla beans), chocolate, and vegan coconut. There are also parfaits like the “Banana Cream Dream,” made with banana pudding, graham cracker crumbs, banana cake and a dollop of whipped cream. Watch The Local’s video to see the mother-daughter duo in action, and check out the menu below.
