[TheresaAnne]

Mocha Cheesecake Is the baking chocolate sweet or semi-sweet? This makes quite a difference. Thanks

In my experience, "baking chocolate" usually means unsweetened.

Since the recipe in question contains very little sugar, I would be afraid that unsweetened baking chocolate could make the cheesecake bitter. I would go with a semi-sweet or even a sweet baking chocolate, depending on your own personal preference.

One reviewer used unsweetened chocolate and was not satisfied with the result. I doubt the contributor is still around but I know Marg is - it would make more sense to contact her and ask what kind of chocolate she used.

THERASA ANN:
Good morning. Therasa~ ann, This recipe does not have enough gran sugar in it. Even if you employed sweetened chocolate. At bare minimum for 16, oz of cream cheese requires 25% in weight in sugar. This is what I employ in my Philly cream cheese cakes. Now then, It was suggested to you to employ UN~SWEETENED choco. That is correct. But & however you need to employ 4, oz of sugar....1/2 cup plus 1.5 TBLS worth to make this baked product viable.

Good luck & enjoy the rest of the day young lady.
