what is nøddebund

[DTCwordfan]

Anybody Danish here or familiar with Danish cuisine?

what is nøddebund, a licqueur or something?

[DTCwordfan]

hindbærmousse og bær på nøddebund,

is the expression but I think it could be on a bed of nuts, such as a hazelnut?

My wife tells me that is is the base for a cake.

Nøddebund literally translates as 'bottom nut'. It's made from beaten egg whites, with icing sugar and hazelnuts.

Sourced from here:

translates
hindbærmousse og bær på nøddebund,
as
Raspberry mousse and berries on nut bottom,

[Vicasso]

We seem to have a consensus :-)

many thanks for that - perhaps I should do a Heston and go for a Danish bacon and raspberry mousse on a nut biscuit base!
