Let's see what combinations can be formed.

HH, HH, Hh, Hh.

So, yes their offspring can contain the recessive allele.

(THe offspring can be a carrier of the recessive allele.)

However, since it is impossible for the offspring to be homozygous recessive,

the recessive trait/gene will not show in the offspring's phenotype.

Hope that helps!
