Cucumber Cream Cheese Canapés Recipe
A super easy cucumber appetizer with cucumber slices and a delicious herb and garlic cream cheese piped on top. Elegant yet delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 large English cucumber sliced 1/4-inch thick; about 48 slices
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened a bit at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill plus more for garnish
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder finely minced or grated
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- Pinch freshly ground black pepper plus more to taste
Instructions
- Slice the cucumber and line the slices on a platter.
- Add the cream cheese, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pinch ground pepper. If your cream cheese is soft enough, you should be able to mix it together with a fork; if not or if it's not working well with a fork, I suggest using the beater attachments on your hand mixer to blend it all together.
- Transfer the cream cheese to a plastic storage bag or piping bag affixed with your tip of choice (I like to use a star tip). Pipe the cream cheese onto the cucumber slices. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs and serve.
Notes
Vegan option: Use a dairy-free/vegan cream cheese.
