Easy Cheaters Cheese Danishes Puff Pastry Magic

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
2. Gently unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into 6 equal rectangles.
3. Score a smaller rectangle within each larger rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Don't cut all the way through!
4. Spoon a generous amount of the cheese filling into the center of each scored rectangle.
5. Brush the edges of each danish with the beaten egg wash. Sprinkle with turbinado or sanding sugar.
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
7. While the danishes are baking, whisk together powdered sugar and milk (or lemon juice) until smooth. Add more liquid until you reach your desired consistency.
8. Let the danishes cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Drizzle with glaze, if desired.
