Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup orange juice concentrate

Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill the crust in the refrigerator.
- Create the Orange Cream Cheese Layer: In a small bowl, bloom the gelatin in cold water. In another bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Mix in the orange juice concentrate and optional orange zest. Whip heavy cream separately and fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Dissolve the bloomed gelatin and fold it into the mixture. Pour it over the crust and chill.
- Create the Classic Cheesecake Layer: Repeat the steps for the classic cheesecake layer, adding vanilla extract this time. Pour this mixture over the set orange cream cheese layer and chill.
- Prepare the Orange Jello Top Layer: Dissolve the orange-flavored gelatin dessert mix in boiling water, then add cold water and let it cool. Once cooled, pour it over the cheesecake.
- Serve: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the pan, slice, and enjoy!
