  6. Finish with the intended garnish and serve at the appropriate temperature.
  7. For Red Berry Compote with Mint Quark, check the texture frequently near the end: baked desserts should be just set in the centre, while chilled creams need time to firm fully.
  8. For oven desserts, cover the surface loosely if needed once it reaches the desired colour so it does not darken too far.
  9. Let warm components cool to room temperature before chilling them covered, preventing excess condensation.
  10. For Red Berry Compote with Mint Quark, arrange the measured ingredients (500 g mixed red berries, 250 ml cherry juice, 2 tbsp cornflour, 2 tbsp sugar, 250 g quark) in recipe order; combine cold and warm components only once their temperatures are compatible.
