In a medium mixing bowl beat cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.  Add 1/2 c. sugar, flour, vanilla and orange peel; beat until smooth.  Add the egg product; beat on low speed just until combined.  Divide evenly among the crusts in muffin cups.

Bake at 325 degrees fr 15-17 minutes or until set and tops just begin to turn golden brown.  Cool in cups on a wire rack 5 minutes.  Remove cheesecakes from muffin cups.  Cover; chill 4-24 hours.  Top serve, top cheesecakes with berries.  Heat and stir jelly until smooth; drizzle atop cheesecakes (if desired).
