  • In a separate bowl, add the orange Jell-O to 1 cup of boiling water. Stir well until fully dissolved, then let it cool for a few minutes.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Then, add the sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated. Gently fold in the whipped topping.
  • Slowly pour the cooled Jell-O mixture into the cream cheese filling. Use a spatula to gently mix until evenly distributed.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
