Instructions:
1. Prepare the Crust:
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined.
Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the next layer.
2. Make the Orange Cream Cheese Layer:
In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, orange juice concentrate, and zest until smooth.
Microwave the bloomed gelatin for 10-15 seconds until liquid, then mix into the cream cheese mixture.
Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully combined.
Pour over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until set.
3. Make the Classic Cheesecake Layer:
Repeat the gelatin bloom process (gelatin + cold water, let sit 5 mins).
Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks and set aside.
