Crust
- 3/4 cup cookie or Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
Filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese (regular or lite)
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar

- Beat in orange juice, zest, flour and vanilla extract.
- Eat for another 2 minutes.
- Pour batter into prepared crust; place on a rack or aluminum foil ring in a slow cooker (so it doesn't rest on the bottom of the pot).
