Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Prepare the Crescent Rolls:
Unroll the crescent rolls and separate them into 8 triangles.
Arrange the triangles on the prepared baking sheet.
Make the Cheese Filling:
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk to the cream cheese. Beat until well combined and creamy.
Assemble the Danishes:
Place a spoonful of the cheese filling in the center of each crescent roll triangle.
Fold the corners of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal and creating a small pocket.
Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Bake the Danishes:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the danishes are golden brown and the filling is set.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
Prepare the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm danishes.
Serve:
Transfer the glazed danishes to a serving platter.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
