I am translating a document detailing a range of flavoured mousse mixes. The word "Fond" occurs beneath each different variety, followed by the flavour of the instant mix. For example,
Coffee mousse mix
Fond Kaffee
The product description then refers to the mix as a "Sahnefond mit Kaffee...."
There are various English translations on the web that keep the "Fond" as it is. I am not keen on this, due to the confusion with a "fond" being the base of a tart. I also have similar reservations with the word "base".
Does anyone have any suggestions please? Thanks in advance!

base/stock
Obviously, it would be a "cream base" and not a "cream stock", but the word Fond is also used to refer to meat and savory stocks as well.

Having worked in a Cafe for nearly a decade, "coffee base" is something I'm very familiar with. :)

And yes, an alternative to a "coffee base" is indeed a "cream base". :)

: I wouldn't use "stock" unless it involved meat or a savory sauce
