Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (160Β°C) and spray a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Crust
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl using a hand mixer), add the cream cheese and mix until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the sugar and mix until fully incorporated.
Add the vanilla yogurt, vanilla extract, salt, orange juice, and orange zest. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 4: Incorporate the Eggs
With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until barely incorporated after each addition. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5: Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared springform pan. To prevent leaks, place the springform pan on a cookie sheet lined with foil.
Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven on the center rack and bake for 85-90 minutes. The edges should be slightly puffed and golden, while the center should jiggle like jello but spring back to the touch.

Step 6: Cool the Cheesecake
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Gently use a knife to loosen the sides of the cheesecake from the springform pan to prevent cracking as it cools.
Allow the cheesecake to cool for an additional 2 hours at room temperature. Then transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for 6 hours or overnight.
Step 7: Serve
Once chilled, cut the cheesecake into 10 equal slices and enjoy!
