In a medium bowl, whisk together quark cheese, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of mixed berries until well combined. Set aside. In another medium bowl, combine remaining mixed berries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, and a splash of water.

To assemble, place one pretzel waffle on each serving plate, top with a dollop of the quark cream, and spoon berry compote over the top. Garnish with a light dusting of powdered sugar and a fresh mint leaf for added elegance.
