Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 lb cooked crab meat, flaked (can sub imitation crab meat)
1 (3 oz) package cream cheese, cut up and softened
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp shallot, minced
2 tsp prepared horseradish
1/2 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp salt (optional)
4 medium cucumbers (each approx . 8 inches long or use english cucumber)

Directions:

Remove 2 tablespoons crab meat for garnish, if desired. Place the remaining crab, cream cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, shallots, horseradish, cayenne pepper and salt (if using salt) in a food processor bowl; cover and process until smooth, scraping sides of bowl. Spoon mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
Using a zester or vegetable peeler, peel the cucumbers, leaving some strips of skin. Cut into 3/4 inch thick slices (or halve 2 cucumbers lengthwise and slice 3/4 inch thick). With a melon baller, scoop out the center of each slice to create a cup. Pipe mousse into cucumber cups. Garnish each with reserved crab meat, if desired. Cover and chill up to 2 hours before serving.
