Add powdered sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Slowly beat in the cooled gelatin until fully incorporated. Gently fold in whipped topping until smooth and fluffy.
- Assemble and chill: Pour the filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set. Garnish with additional whipped topping and orange slices or zest if desired before serving.
