Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Add the crust ingredients to a mixing bowl, and whisk to combine well.

Bake for 20 minutes, and allow the crust to cool.

Add in the Greek yogurt, sour cream, heavy whipping cream and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Beat in the eggs one at a time.

Spread the mixture over the cooled crust.

Step 14

Remove from the heat and stir in the orange extract and zest.
