Ingredients

Scale

1 (3 ounce) box orange jello
1 cup boiling water
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 (8 ounce) blocks cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a heat-proof bowl, whisk together the orange jello powder and boiling water until fully combined. Allow it to cool for about 30 minutes.
Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by spraying it with cooking spray and lining it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup of powdered sugar until smooth.
In another bowl, whip together heavy cream, remaining powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and optional orange zest until stiff peaks form. Gently fold half into the cream cheese mixture.
Incorporate the cooled jello mixture into the remaining whipped cream until well blended.
Layer spoonfuls of both mixtures into the crust and gently swirl them together.
Cover with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until set.
