Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Stir the mixture frequently and cook until the blueberries start to burst and the mixture thickens to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Let it cool.
Unroll the dairy-free puff pastry sheets and cut them into 8 equal rectangles. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Using a sharp knife, lightly score a small border about 0.5 inch (1 cm) from the edge of each rectangle. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the blueberry mixture into the center of each rectangle, spreading it evenly within the scored border.
Brush the borders of each pastry with almond milk to help them brown in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
While the pastries are baking, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of almond milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the pastries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled pastries.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your Dairy-Free Blueberry Danish!
