Mama Dip's Congo Squares

Recipe by Issac Spencer

Thank you to Isaac Spencer, Executive Chef at the Old North State Club, for sharing Mama Dip's recipe with us! This is what he had to say "Throughout my culinary career, two chefs I’ve always admired and looked up to are Mildred “Mama Dip” Council, Founder of Mama Dip’s Kitchen in Chapel Hill and Walter Royal, Executive Chef at Angus Barn in Raleigh I love sharing their recipes with members at Old North State Club There is no coincidence that if you come to the lake for Steakhouse Night, you will notice Chef Royal’s chocolate chess pie is also on the menu Mama Dip’s southern desserts have been featured on dessert menus and member events here at ONSC as well Chef Council’s Congo Square Recipe is the newest addition to the cookie and dessert bar menu. I hope you enjoy!"
