In a large bowl, add the softened cream cheese, lemon juice, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the powdered sugar to the bowl and beat with an electric mixer until a thick cream cheese custard forms.
Unroll the tube of crescent roll dough. Divide the crescent dough into four rectangles. Press along the diagonal seams that cut the dough into triangles.
Brush the edges of each piece of dough with the melted butter and a silicone brush. Fill each pastry with the cream cheese layer evenly, about two tablespoons of mixture per piece.
Place the pastries on the pan. Bake for 14–16 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown, then remove to a cooling rack.
While the pastries cool, add ¾ cup of powdered sugar, 2 ¼ teaspoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla in a small bowl. Mix with a spoon until a smooth icing forms.
