Slice a cucumber into ¼-inch thick rounds. You should get about 36 pieces total, but make sure you at least have an even amount of cucumber. Pat the cucumber rounds dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
In a stand mixer, whip the cream cheese with a paddle attachment for about 5 minutes. Whip as long as it takes until you have fluffy cream cheese that is easy to manipulate – the same texture as a soft buttercream frosting.
Step 3
Finely mince the garlic clove and fresh chives. Slowly mix them into the cream cheese.
Step 4
Spread your cream cheese mixture on half of your cucumber slices. You can simply do this with a spoon, or you can use a piping bag or ziploc bag to pipe the filling onto the cucumber. Top the finger sandwiches off with the other half of your cucumber slices.
