Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup granulated sugar

2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup orange juice

2 tsp orange zest

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 packet powdered gelatin (optional, for setting firmness)

Whipped cream and orange slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.

      Make the Filling:

        In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Gradually add in the orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract, mixing well.

          Whip the Cream:

            In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.

              Combine & Optional Gelatin:

                If using gelatin for added firmness, dissolve it according to package instructions and fold it gently into the mixture.

                  Assemble:

                    Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared crust and spread it evenly.

                      Chill:

                        Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

                          Serve:

                            Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with whipped cream and fresh orange slices if desired before slicing and serving.
