Line a medium-sized bowl with clear plastic wrap, leaving plenty of overhang to wrap the top once filled.
Allow the vanilla and chocolate ice cream to soften at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes for easier spreading.
In a separate small bowl, combine strawberries, blueberries, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes to macerate.
Spread an even layer of vanilla ice cream along the sides and bottom of the lined bowl, about 1-inch thick. Freeze for 10 minutes to firm up.
Spread a layer of chocolate ice cream inside the vanilla layer, leaving a hollow center. Freeze for another 10 minutes.
Fill the hollow center with the macerated fruit mixture and granola, pressing gently to compact the filling.
Cover the filling with another layer of chocolate ice cream, smoothing the top to seal the ice bomb. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight for optimal firmness.
Once the ice bomb is fully frozen, remove it from the bowl by lifting the plastic wrap. Flip it onto a serving plate and remove the plastic wrap completely.
Drizzle the chocolate shell topping generously over the ice bomb. The topping will harden quickly, creating a dramatic 'shell' effect.
Add decorative swirls of whipped cream around the base or serve on the side for an added touch.
Slice the ice bomb with a sharp knife and serve immediately to enjoy the layers!
