In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter; press into the bottom of a 9" springform pan for the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract; add to the cream cheese and whipped cream, folding gently until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and whole milk until thickened; fold into the cream cheese mixture. Add the sour cream to this mixture; fold until smooth and well combined.
Pour the filling over the chilled crust; spread evenly. Cover. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Serve, garnished with whipped cream and orange slices, if desired.
