Instructions
- Create a vivid blue raspberry syrup by gently warming the syrup with a splash of water in a small saucepan, stirring until it reaches a slightly thickened consistency. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

- Finish the presentation by delicately sprinkling blue sugar crystals over the whipped cream, adding a sparkling, festive touch that hints at the playful flavor surprise within.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting sugar levels to suit personal taste preferences.
- Use high-quality vanilla bean ice cream for a richer, more authentic flavor profile.
