I’ve never made chocolate cream cheese frosting though the thought of it sounds fabulous! I imagine powdered sugar is one of the ingredients, which IMO, should provide enough of the sweet flavor, so I would think it would be fine to use unsweetened chocolate. You’ve got me curious … what are you making to frost … cake, cupcakes? What kind? Maybe I need the recipe :)

I looked up a recipe online and came up with this one that uses unsweetened chocolate so it must be okay! It got a 5/5 rating.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 ounces (3 squares) unsweetened chocolate, melted
dash of salt
3 cups confectioners’ sugar
1/3 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation:

Cream together the butter and cream cheese. Add melted chocolate, salt, sifted confectioners’ sugar, half-and-half, and vanilla. Beat until smooth and spreadable.
