Several pieces of light orange, translucent jelly, molded in the shape of building blocks (similar to LEGO bricks), are arranged on a white plate. The plate has small, rounded, ear-like protrusions, suggesting it's designed for a child. A small amount of clear liquid surrounds the jelly pieces. The image evokes a playful and refreshing treat.

Have you ever eaten "LEGO"? Let's make some LEGO-shaped jellies! This is an easy-to-make treat that will make children squeal with delight. They're perfect for parties, family snack time, or as a creative dessert.

Materials Needed

Saucepan, one cup of water
bowl
clean LEGO bricks
knife
one bowl of jelly
15g unflavoured gelatine
mixing spoon

An overhead shot displays the ingredients and tools for making LEGO brick-shaped jellies. Arranged on a light wood-grain surface are various clear glass bowls and a glass. One bowl contains a pile of powdered gelatin, another holds a small amount of pre-made pink jelly, and a third has a collection of colorful LEGO bricks. A glass filled with water, a small glass pot with a wooden handle and a white spatula inside, and a silver butter knife complete the scene. This flat lay clearly presents the elements needed for this recipe.

Step-by-step tutorial

Step 1

Add 1/3 cup water to a non-stick pan, then add 15g unflavoured gelatine and 1 bowl of jelly.

Pink jelly cubes are being poured from a clear container into a glass pot containing water and powdered gelatin. The pot sits on a black, electric burner. The process of dissolving gelatin and combining it with pre-made jelly is depicted here, likely a step in a recipe for creating layered or molded jellies.

Step 2

Heat the mixture over low heat until everything dissolves, approximately 3-4 minutes.

A hand uses a white spatula to stir a dark, brownish-red liquid in a clear glass pot on a black electric burner. The liquid appears to be a mixture of ingredients, possibly melting or dissolving, as it's being heated and stirred. The image suggests a cooking or candy-making process.

Step 3

Pour the mixed jelly solution into a bowl.

Against a vibrant orange backdrop, a light pinkish-orange liquid is being poured from a clear glass pot with a handle into a clear glass bowl. The liquid flows smoothly, and the bowl already contains a small amount of the same liquid. The scene likely depicts a step in a food preparation process, perhaps involving jelly or a similar dessert. The light wood-grain surface below the bowl adds a natural element to the composition.

Step 4

Now place the clean LEGO bricks on top of the jelly solution, with the top of the bricks touching and floating on the solution. Place the LEGO jelly in the refrigerator for 6 hours.

On a light wooden surface, two clear glass bowls are visible. One bowl is partially filled with a light orange liquid, and several small, colorful LEGO bricks are submerged in it. A second bowl sits next to it, containing a few more LEGO bricks, but without any liquid. This image likely illustrates a step in making LEGO-shaped jellies, where the molds are being prepared.

Step 5

Using a knife, carefully cut around the set jelly along the bricks, then gently remove the LEGO pieces.

Two hands hold a clear glass bowl filled with a light brown liquid on a light wood-grain table. Colorful LEGO bricks are partially submerged in the liquid, arranged in a grid-like pattern. One hand uses a small, grey spatula to carefully adjust the position of a white LEGO brick within the liquid. This image suggests a crafting or culinary activity, possibly involving embedding the LEGOs in a gelatin or resin mixture.

Step 6

Enjoy your LEGO brick jellies!

Several translucent, light orange jello pieces, molded in the shape of LEGO bricks, are arranged on a white plate. The plate appears slightly wet, suggesting the jellies were recently unmolded. The light, almost peachy color of the jellies and the playful LEGO shape create a visually appealing image, likely intended to showcase a fun and creative dessert.
