Ingredients

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup fresh orange juice

Zest of 1 orange

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Orange slices (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Form the crust: Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Use the back of a measuring cup to pack it tightly. Set aside.

Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until well combined.

Add flavor: Mix in the fresh orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the orange cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate it.

Combine the layers: Pour the filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Use a spatula to smooth out the top.

Chill: Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or until the cheesecake is set.

Serve: Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with fresh orange slices on top for an added touch of freshness and decoration.
