Cut the crescent roll dough in half, then cut into eight identical slices.

Smash the centers of the dough slices to form a ditch.

Place the dough on two cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.

In a bowl, mix 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla until smooth.

Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the center of each Danish.

Spoon lemon curd on top of the cream cheese mixture.

Bake in the oven at 375°F for about 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown.

While the Danishes are baking, mix 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with 2 teaspoons of milk to make the glaze.

Once baked, drizzle the glaze over the Danishes in a back-and-forth motion for better presentation.
