Cucumber Mousse

Ingredients

1 large cucumber, peeled and finely diced

225 g/8 oz curd cheese

150 ml/1/4 pint plain low-fat yogurt

Pinch of ground mace

15 g/1/2 oz powdered gelatin

3 tablespoons water

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

2 teaspoons snipped chives
Directions

Place the cucumber, curd cheese, yogurt and mace in a blender. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a small heatproof bowl and leave for a few minutes until spongy. Place the bowl in a saucepan of hot water and stir over a very gentle heat until the gelatin has dissolved. Add to the mixture in the blender.

Process the mixture until smooth, then season to taste and stir in the chives. Turn the mixture into a 600 ml/1 pint soufflé dish or 4 individual ramekins; cover and chill in the refrigerator over-night. Serve chilled.
