Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and cold water, whisking until smooth.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and starts to bubble (about 5-7 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in the orange zest. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Fold 1 cup of whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until evenly combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
Pour the cooled orange mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading it out evenly.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Before serving, spread the remaining 1 cup of whipped topping over the orange layer.
If desired, garnish with orange slices and mint leaves for a decorative touch.
