Suggestions for sweetening my DIY recipe?

I could use some help sweetening this recipe without using sweetener, as such. So, what types of flavor additions would make this sweeter without radically changing the profile or bringing the total flavor percentage up by more than 4% max? I can go lower of the Espresso next time, which might help, but I'd like to improve this bottle. It's good, just not at all sweet, somehow.

CREAMY COFFEE SHORTBREAD THING 11%

0.75 FA ESPRESSO
1 FA CAPPUCCINO
2 CAP SHORTBREAD
1.5 TFA CHEESECAKE GRAHAM CRUST
1 CAP GINGERBREAD
1 FW EGGNOG
0.5 FA COOKIE PREMIUM
0.75 HN CHOCOLATE CREAM
0.75 TAHITIAN VANILLA
1 CAP SWEET CREAM
1 VANILLA SWIRL

I saw a couple of responses to my question, here, about sweetening, but accidentally navigated away from the page/thread in which they appeared and now I can only find my post here on its own with no answers listed. So I'm replying to myself :)

I agree that is kind of a long list of flavors, but occasionally things turn out that way for me with good results. The suggestion to add a bit more sweet cream or --I think it was HN Chocolate Cream?--is appreciated and might neutralize the bitterness of FA Espresso a bit, but I don't think it would work here to add sweetness.

I filled about 1/3rd of a tank with a donut mix that has FLV Crisp Donut, Zeppola, WF Deep Fried Pastry Dough and TFA Cinnamon Danish Swirl, then up to the top with the coffee shortbread thing and that kicked up the sweetness noticeably, so I guess I'll cope in that way until I have a chance to rework the whole thing or I run out.

BTW, can somebody help me find the page where my question originally appeared?
