Ingredients:

Before we get started, let’s gather all the ingredients you’ll need to make this scrumptious cheesecake:

1 ¾ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
½ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin (optional, for setting)

Instructions:

Now that you have all your ingredients ready, let’s jump into the step-by-step process to create this delicious cheesecake:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and orange zest. Continue to mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream and heavy cream until smooth. Slowly add this mixture to the cream cheese mixture, stirring until just combined.
Pour in the freshly squeezed orange juice and mix until everything is well incorporated.
If you’re using gelatin for a firmer cheesecake, dissolve it in a small amount of water and add it to the batter. Mix thoroughly.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for an hour. Finally, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Once the cheesecake is chilled and ready to serve, you can garnish it with some additional orange zest or whipped cream if desired. Enjoy your deliciously creamy slice of heaven!
