Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Spatulas
  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened for each layer
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for each layer
  • 3/4 cup orange juice concentrate
  • 1 tsp orange zest optional
  • 2 tsp powdered gelatin for each layer
  • 6 tablespoons cold water for each layer
  • 1 cup heavy cream for each layer
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract for the classic layer
  • 1 package orange-flavored gelatin dessert mix
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup cold water

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well-mixed. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, making sure it's even and compact. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the fillings.
  • Bloom the gelatin by sprinkling it over 3 tablespoons of cold water and letting it sit for a few minutes. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, orange juice concentrate, and orange zest until smooth. Stir in the bloomed gelatin, then gently fold in the whipped cream. Pour this mixture over the chilled crust and return it to the refrigerator to set.
  • Bloom another 2 teaspoons of gelatin in 3 tablespoons of cold water. Whip another cup of heavy cream to stiff peaks. In a clean bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Mix in the bloomed gelatin and fold in the whipped cream. Carefully spread this layer over the set orange layer, making sure it’s even. Chill again until firm.
  • Dissolve the orange-flavored gelatin in boiling water, then stir in 1/2 cup of cold water. Let the mixture cool slightly, then pour it gently over the chilled cheesecake layers. Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill until the jello layer is completely set.
