These little spoons make fancy canapés with not much work effort and a small budget (total ingredients 7.23€). If you want to see some of the stuff which has been keeping me away from blogging. Take a look here and here.

Credit crunch cucumber & Snow white mousse spoons

200ml whipping cream
150g soft goat’s cheese
1 cucumber, washed
2 tsp of lemon juice
1 small jar of “fake” caviar (i.e. Herring roe)

Makes about 15 spoons.

Chop 3/4 of the cucumber into small cubes and mix with lemon juice. Keep the rest for the garnish.
Whip the cream until stiff. In a separate bowl whip the goat’s cheese until soft and smooth. Beat a couple of spoons of the whipped cream into the goat’s cheese and then fold in the rest of the whipped cream. Scoop into a piping bag with a star shaped nozzle.
In each serving spoon add a tsp of chopped cucumber. Pipe the mousse on top and garnish with a little of ‘fake caviar’ and a slither of cucumber.

If you don’t have the spoons, you could either use squares of dark wholemeal bread or a thick round slice of cucumber (instead of chopping the cucumber up).
