Prepare the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a bowl. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
Make the filling: Beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add powdered sugar, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the orange filling evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.
Serve and enjoy: Once set, carefully remove the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled, optionally topping with extra whipped cream or fresh orange slices.
