Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Crust:** In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
2. **Prepare the Gelatin:** In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin in 1/4 cup water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
3. **Make the Filling:** In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add sugar, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, or until fully dissolved. Allow it to cool slightly, then fold into the filling.
