Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

¼ cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

16 oz cream cheese, softened

¾ cup powdered sugar

Zest of 1 orange

½ cup fresh orange juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream

Orange slices and whipped cream for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until it resembles wet sand.

    Form the crust: Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a measuring cup to compact it firmly. Chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes while preparing the filling.

      Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a handheld mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

        Add the sugars and flavorings: Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and smooth.

          Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

            Fold whipped cream into filling: Gently fold the whipped cream into the orange cheesecake mixture, taking care not to deflate the air bubbles. Start with a third of the whipped cream to lighten the mixture, then fold in the rest until no streaks remain.

              Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust and spread evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.

                Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results, until set.

                  Serve: Once set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Top with whipped cream and garnish with orange slices before slicing.

                      - Presentation Tips: Serve on a decorative platter, and consider drizzling more orange juice or zest on top of the cheesecake for added color and flavor.
