1 ½ cups granulated sugar, divided
2 cups heavy cream
1 box (3 oz) orange jello
1 cup boiling water
½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions
Prepare the Crust:
In a food processor, pulse the vanilla wafers until they become fine crumbs.
Add ½ cup granulated sugar and melted butter, pulsing to combine.
Press the mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
Chill in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
Make the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and 1 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange jello and boiling water until completely dissolved. Set aside.
In another medium bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and orange zest until stiff peaks form.
Combine half of the whipped cream mixture with the orange jello mixture, and fold the other half into the cream cheese mixture.
Assemble the Cheesecake:
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the chilled crust.
Then, top with the orange cream mixture, smoothing it out.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
