Sweet Roll Cheesecake Danishes

• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent rolls
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Lemon Glaze:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 4 rectangles. Pinch the seams together to seal them.
3. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, lemon zest, egg yolk, and flour until smooth.
4. Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture onto each rectangle of dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Roll up each rectangle starting from the long side, then shape each roll into a spiral or a coil.
6. Place the danishes onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. While the danishes are baking, prepare the lemon glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl until smooth.
8. Allow the danishes to cool slightly, then drizzle with the lemon glaze before serving.
