Bitter Taste Of Semi-Sweet Chocolate
Decorating By Stacey16303 Updated 8 Jun 2009 , 6:02pm by Stacey16303
Does anybody else dislike the taste of semi-sweet chocolate in their frostings? I made the chocolate IMBC & a chocolate ganache yesterday, both called for semi-sweet chocolate. I do not like the bitter taste in either item, neither does DH. Anybody have any suggestions - is it just using milk chocolate in place of the semi-sweet? Thanks so much for your help
milk chocolate would definitely make things sweeter...i would also say for some things (especially ganache), the quality of the chocolate really matters so make sure you're using really good quality stuff
I LOVE dark chocolate, and find it is excellent in ganache and icings as it cuts some of the sweetness. So, I agree with the other posters, try a better quality bittersweet chocolate, or at least a different brand.
I can't stand semi-sweet chocolate. I made ganache with it and had to try sweetening it with powdered sugar, but eventually just dumped it.
I only use milk choc. now.
i love dark chocolate! I am one of those crazy people who can eat pieces of the 85% cocoa lindt chocolate and not mind it lol everyone else goes eeewwwww bitter!
But for cooking i would use the 70% cocoa on the rare occasion cose it is less bitter but is too expensive to use all the time but yuuummmmmm
Stands beside Elise87. ::Gimme:: Darker and most bitter is fabulous.
Milk chocolate for you, bittersweet for me.
MMMMMM......I love dark chocolate!!!! That's the good stuff right there, baby!!!!
I wonder if I have any in the cupboard...
I don't have a problem at all..... I love dark chocolate!!!!! The darker the better....
for one of my birthdays i had a dark chocolate fountain and by the end of it we were drinking out of the fountain by straws.....we also felt sick by the end of it too lol
well by the end of the night there still was alot of melted chocolate left and we didn't want it to go to waste lol
Stacey16303: Maybe you could use a combination of milk and dark chocolate and that way it won't be too sweet or too bitter

You got my dream birthday.......
You are so lucky!!!!!!
Ya know i just bought a stainless steel chocolate fountain and was only about 50cm high so it's not too big or expensive and i am sure you can buy them over in america if you ever want to get one

Yeah, I used 1/2 semi-sweet and 1/2 milk chocolate and it was still too bitter for me. Next time I'll try all milk chocolate. I used Ghiradelli (however the hek you spell it ), I thought that was supposed to be a good brand. I think I just need to chalk it up to not liking dark chocolate...
