Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the orange jello powder with 1 cup of boiling water until completely dissolved. Set aside to cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Spray a 9-inch springform pan lightly with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan and freeze for 30 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and orange zest. Continue beating until stiff peaks are achieved.
- Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then fold in the remaining whipped cream and cooled orange jello.
- Pour the filling into the chilled crust, smoothing the top and creating swirls with a knife.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Once chilled, remove from the springform pan, slice into wedges, and serve chilled.
