This recipe sounds disgusting, to sweet, to high in fat, to many ingredients. Simplify and pay more attention to calories and fat content. Think of the obesity epidemic thats happening in the western countries not to mention the high incidence of heart disease. I'm having to adjust every recipe for a friend who recently had a major heart attack and is having to learn to cook from scratch. I have osteo arthritis and cannot stand for long periods of time so like recipes that are quick to prepare and also have to watch calories to stop my weight climbing due to lack of mobility. I tapped on British/easy to try and find something I would not have to rewrite, no luck.
