Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the vegan puff pastry sheet according to the package instructions.
In a mixing bowl, combine the vegan cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to smooth any creases. Cut the pastry sheet into 6 equal rectangles.
Spread a generous tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Top the cream cheese mixture with a few fresh berries.
Fold the edges of each pastry towards the center, gently pressing down to seal.
Transfer the danishes to the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the exposed edges of each pastry with non-dairy milk, then sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your delicious vegan cream cheese danishes warm or at room temperature.
