Servings: 20 boats

Advance preparation: 24 hours
Cooking time: none
Cut cucumbers into slices 2.5 cm (1 in) thick. Gently hollow out each slice using a Parisian spoon (melon baller).
Fill the hollow with the duck meat, and sprinkle with a generous amount of pepper. Next, use a piping bag to decorate the top of each cucumber boat with the whipped cream cheese spread.
Place the canapés on a large serving platter and serve immediately. The plate can also be covered tightly and kept in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before serving.
