🥘Ingredients

For the Crust

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling

24 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
1 tbsp orange zest

For the Topping

1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar

1/2 tsp orange zest

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well mixed.
3Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
4Bake for 8 minutes, then set aside to cool.
