    1. Step 1In a small pot over medium-high heat, cook mango puree and chopped mango, stirring frequently, until reduced to about 1 cup, about 15 minutes. Let cool.

Add flour, salt, and vanilla and pulse until combined, 5 to 10 seconds. Add eggs one at a time, blending to incorporate after each addition.
    3. Step 3Pour two-thirds of filling into a medium bowl or a pitcher, add Key lime zest and juice, and stir to combine. To remaining filling, add 3/4 cup mango mixture and stir to combine.
    4. Step 4Pour lime filling into crust and smooth with an offset spatula. Pour mango filling into center of lime filling. Dollop mango filling with remaining cooked mango mixture. Using a spoon or offset spatula, swirl mango mixture into mango filling. To achieve the proper layered look, do not swirl mango and lime filling together.
