Roll dough between sheets of parchment paper into a 12-inch circle. Peel off the top sheet and invert the dough into a 9-inch pie pan. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Remove the paper. Fold under the excess dough and flute, or trim with scissors and crimp (see Tip). Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling. Whisk eggs, pumpkin, evaporated milk, 1/2 cup brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until smooth. Whisk cream cheese, milk, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared crust. Dollop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture onto the filling, spacing them evenly. Draw the tip of a skewer or a knife through both mixtures to create a swirled design. Bake the pie for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine pecans, the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, flour, butter, cinnamon and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Sprinkle the streusel over the pie and bake until the filling is puffed at the edges and the center springs back when touched, 15 to 20 minutes more. Cool completely on a wire rack, about 3 hours, before slicing. Tip Give your pie a pretty rim! Use scissors to trim the edge of the crust. Press it with a fork to crimp or, for a fancy pattern, press the flat side of the wheel of a scallop-edged pastry cutter into the dough to form little half moons. To make ahead Refrigerate, loosely covered, for up to 2 days.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
