Step 2: Prepare the Creamy Orange Cheesecake Filling
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, freshly squeezed orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until well combined. Next, fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 3: Assemble and Chill
Pour the creamy orange cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker crust in the baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake is set.
