Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
To Prepare the Cheesecake Layer: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until it is smooth. Beat in 1/4 cup of sugar, then incorporate the vanilla extract and 1 egg. Beat the mixture until it is light and smooth. Chill this mixture for 30 minutes, then spread it evenly into the pastry shell.
To Prepare the Pumpkin Layer: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer. Cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil from the edges and continue baking for an additional 25 minutes.
To Prepare the Pecan Streusel Layer: While the pie is baking, combine the flour and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar in a small bowl. Mix well, then add the softened butter or margarine and stir until the ingredients are combined. Mix in the pecans.
After the pie has baked for 50 minutes, remove it from the oven and sprinkle the pecan streusel evenly over the top. Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
