Ingredients

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 cups cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed is best)

1 tablespoon orange zest

1 teaspoon gelatin (optional, for firmness)

Orange slices and whipped cream for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until fully incorporated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even crust. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.

Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until well blended.

Incorporate Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to maintain its fluffy texture.

Add Orange Flavor: Stir in the orange juice and orange zest until fully combined. If using gelatin for added firmness, dissolve it in 2 tablespoons of warm water and mix it into the filling at this stage.

Combine and Chill: Carefully pour the orange cream filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.

Serve: Once set, gently release the cheesecake from the springform pan. Top with dollops of whipped cream and decorate with orange slices on top for a beautiful presentation.
