*If you are using store bought strawberry preserves you can skip this step.

Combine sliced strawberries, 1/4 cup sugar, cornstarch and water in a small saucepan and cook over medium low heat.

Smash up the berries slightly while they cook, and cook until the mixture is thickened.

In a large bowl mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla. Set aside.

Remove crescent dough from container. Do not unroll.

Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 slices, about 3/4 inch thick.

Place each dough slice on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

Press the centers with a finger or a measuring cup to make a well for the filling and stretch the sides a bit if it is necessary.

Place a heaping teaspoon of cream cheese mixture onto each danish.

Add a teaspoonful of strawberry filling.

Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 17 minutes. or until lightly golden brown.

In a small bowl, stir together confectioners' sugar, milk and butter.

You can use a spoon to drizzle it over the tops of the danish, or you can put it into a small zip-top bag and snip of the corner for an easy "piping bag."

Take the danish out of the oven and allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes before icing.
