For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of lemon zest to the cream cheese filling. These squares are best enjoyed chilled, as the flavors meld together beautifully. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat until smooth and completely creamy. Ensure there are no lumps for the perfect texture. (5 minutes)
03
StepCarefully unroll one can of crescent roll dough and gently spread it across the bottom of the prepared baking pan, pressing to seal any perforations. (3 minutes)
04
StepEvenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the crescent roll layer. Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully place it over the cream cheese filling, again pressing to seal. (5 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until the top is a light, golden brown, approximately 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature. (5 minutes)
06
StepWhile the danish squares are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Adjust the amount of milk to achieve your desired consistency. (3 minutes)
07
StepOnce the danish squares have cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top. Cut into squares and serve. (2 minutes)
