Lovely recipe! I wouldn't change a thing. I live in a country where people have never eaten anything like this. Knocked their socks off.
We've been making this for as long as I can remember (50+ years); however instead of putting the mixture in a mold or individual servings, we blind bake a pie shell, put the mix in the pie shell and refrigerate; typically top with a bit more whip cream for decoration. And, we've been known to use frozen berries, oh, the shame, the shame. People eat it up, though, even with frozen berries.
Running the purée through a fine sieve helped make the texture less crunch. Next time will sprinkle gelatin on top of water and then heat gently to dissolve for 10 min before adding purée.

Q: At the end of Step 2 everything is in the blender. Do I add the whole shebang back into the saucepan and heat? Then cool. Then add liquer? Etc & on to the whipped cream?
