Jim - Beyond the pictures on her instagram, I haven't seen any more info about her technique.  I did email her about it, but did not get a response.  

Here is another pic from her instagram.  It's her key lime bonbon which has a key lime PDF.  The piping bags are an older pic, so she has clearly changed formulas as it's no longer a red color.   I was really hoping to hear from her about her technique, but she was either too busy to respond or it's a state secret.     Please note that all images come from here:  https://www.instagram.com/kateweiserchocolate/

 

As for adding puree, I don't think it would take very much to get to a pipe-able consistency.  Just a small amount should be enough for the food processor to achieve a good paste.  Would have to do the shelf life tests to see the effect.  I suppose you could also use a small amount of alcohol to thin it, but that could probably affect the taste.

And here's a pic of her Strawberry Basil bonbon in the making.  It's strawberry PDF and basil ganache.  Interesting to see the texture of the PDF here:

And here's a picture of a lemon PDF that looks to have a very smooth and fluid consistency:
