Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Cut about 1/2 inch off the top of the garlic head, making sure that the tops of the cloves are open and exposed. Place on a square of aluminum foil, drizzle the top with olive oil, and lightly season with pepper. Wrap the bulb up in the foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cloves are soft and the tops are brown and caramelized, 30 to 40 minutes. Set aside.
• Pour the cream in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring often, until just starting to bubble. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the garlic cloves from the head using a fork and place them in a small bowl. Mash them with the fork until smooth. Add horseradish and salt and stir until combined.
• Stir horseradish-garlic mixture into the cream and continue to simmer until the sauce is thick and creamy and the horseradish flavor has mellowed, 5 to 10 minutes.

• Do not cut all the way through.
• Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a fluted tip. Pipe the cheese mixture into the cucumber cups.
• (Use a small spoon if a pastry bag is not available.)
• Garnish the tops of the cups with parsley or dill sprigs.
