Has anyone made Meryl's Mexican Icebox cake >> NOT using unsweetened chocolate?

[marilynfl]

I've got a small bar of Lindt 85%, and blocks of Callebaut 75%, 60%, 53% and 38%. but what I ain't got is unsweetened.

I'll use whatever with a bit less sugar, but wondered if anyone had already done this.

I've made it, and I just used semisweet, as that's what I had on hand. It was great!

 

[marilynfl]

Sounds like you didn't adjust the sugar?

I've made it with TJ poundplus 72% using a scant 1/4 cup sugar. it's not much sugar to begin with

I did not adjust the sugar. We did not find it overly sweet.

 

[marilynfl]

Thanks...I wasn't sure whether to adjust the 1 cup of powdered as well.

 

[marilynfl]

Thanks for the input, michelle!

I think you need all the powdered sugar for "structure". it's really not overly sweet

Ah, point well taken.
