1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

3. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, and gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
4. In a separate bowl, dissolve the orange-flavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water.
5. Add 1 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture and allow it to cool to room temperature.
6. Once cooled, stir in the orange juice thoroughly.
7. In a 9x13 inch dish, layer graham crackers at the bottom.
8. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the graham crackers.
9. Pour half of the orange gelatin mixture over the cream cheese layer.
10. Repeat the layering process with the remaining graham crackers, cream cheese mixture, and gelatin mixture.
11. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
