Bring the milk and vanilla pod to a boil in a saucepan. Separate the eggs and set aside the yolks. Beat the egg whites with the vanilla sugar until stiff peaks form. Use a tablespoon to scoop out small dumplings. Drop the dumplings into the boiling milk. When the dumplings rise to the surface, turn them over once. Let them cook for about 2 minutes longer. Remove the dumplings from the milk and set them aside. In a bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until frothy and stir in the cornstarch. Stir the egg yolk mixture into the hot milk and bring to a boil once. When the mixture has thickened, remove from the heat and let cool. Place three tablespoons of vanilla sauce into shallow bowls and garnish with two dumplings. Tear the frozen raspberries into 24 mini pieces and place them on the dumplings as eyes.
