Crush graham crackers until you have 3 cups.

Melt 12 tablespoons of butter.

Mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter and 2/3 cup of sugar.

Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan.

Refrigerate the crust for about 30 minutes to set.

In a mixer, combine 2 packs of cream cheese with 1/2 cup of sugar and mix until smooth.

Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a separate bowl.

In the mixer, pour in 2 cups of heavy whipping cream and add 2 teaspoons of vanilla.

Whip the cream until stiff peaks form (about 4-5 minutes).

Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently.

Separate about a third of the mixture for the bottom layer.

In the remaining cream cheese mixture, add the zest of an orange, 1/2 cup of orange juice, and the dissolved gelatin.

Refrigerate the cheesecake for about 3-4 hours to allow the gelatin to set.
