HOW TO MAKE APRIL FOOLS DAY JELLO DENTURE FOOD PRANK

This funny and kid-friendly jello Aprils fools day prank is super easy to make.

PREPARE DENTURE SILICONE MOLD

To make jello dentures I used a silicone mold.

Lightly spray denture silicone mold with a non-stick spray. Wipe off over spray with a dry paper towel.

Spraying silicone mold with nonstick spray and wiping off excess.

JELLO DENTURES INGREDIENTS

I prepared jello dentures in 2 steps. First, I made the white teeth and then pink gums.

First step is to prepare white mixture for the dentures : teeth and gums.

You are going to need :

Sweetened Condensed Milk
Cream Cheese
Gelatin
Water
Flavorings : Vanilla Extract, (optional)
Raspberry Jello or Pink Food Coloring – to make pink gums

Cream cheese, condensed milk water and gelatin in small bowls.

Pour cold water into a bowl and sprinkle granulated gelatin over cold water. Let gelatin bloom for 5-10 minutes, (step 1-2). While gelatin is blooming prepare mixture of cream cheese and condensed milk. Gradually whisk sweetened condensed milk into cream cheese, (step 3). If desired you can whisk in Vanilla Extract (1/8tsp).

Once gelatin is bloomed pour in hot water and whisk well until all of the gelatin is dissolved, (step 4-6). Allow to cool for 5 minutes.

Then gradually whisk in condensed milk/cream cheese mixture. Mixture will be white, (step 7-8).

TIP : How to check if gelatin is dissolved? Rub the mixture between your fingers. If it’s smooth gelatin is dissolved.

FILL THE SILICONE DENTURE MOLD – TEETH PART

Place silicone mold onto a flat tray. With a ½ teaspoon measure pour white mixture into a prepared silicone denture mold. Only fill the part of the mold where the teeth are molded.

Stick the mold into the fridge and allow white mixture to partly set, for about 15 minutes.

Pouring white jello mixture into silicone mold.

Now we can prepare pink mixture to make the gums part of the jello denture. To color and flavor white gelatin mixture I used raspberry jello. You can use pink food coloring or raspberry/strawberry jello will work, too.

Into a small dish pour small amount of raspberry jello powder and pour hot water over it. Stir well and let gelatin dissolve, (step 1-4). Then whisk raspberry jello mixture into a remaining white sweetened condensed milk/cream cheese mixture, (step 5).

FILL THE SILICONE DENTURE MOLD – PINK GUMS PART

Now that white filling is partly set (slightly sticky when touched with a finger) you can top it off with pink jello mixture.

Use a tablespoon measure to fill the mold to the top. Return filled mold into the fridge allow to set for several hours.

UNMOLD DENTURE MOLD

Loosen the edges and turn the mold upside down. Gently shake out the jello dentures and place them onto the plate. Store covered in the fridge until ready to use.

LIGHT BLUE JELLO INGREDIENTS

Now that we’ve go the jello dentures we can prepare “water” jello.

Prepare light blue jello mixture. I couldn’t find light blue jello in the box so I made my own jello using following ingredients.

Gelatin
Light colored fruit Juice, peach, apricot, apple (don’t use pineapple)
Sugar
Water
Citric Acid ( use citric acid to make Invert Sugar)

Pour gelatin over cold fruit juice and let it sit to bloom for 5-10 minutes, (step 1-3). Into a pot pour water, sugar and citric acid. Heat over medium heat until all of the sugar and citric acid is completely dissolved, nearly boiling, (step 4-8).

TIP : If you can find light blue jello powder you can use it instead.

Cooking water, sugar and citric acid in a pot.

Scoop out bloomed gelatin and add it to hot water with dissolved sugar and citric acid. Stir well until all of the gelatin is dissolved, (step 1-3). Color mixture with a tiny amount of blue gel food coloring. Stir well and let it cool to lukewarm to room temperature. This can take about 10-15 minutes. Pour mixture into a funnel pitcher.

TIP : To color water with blue gel food color dip a tip of a toothpick into a sky blue gel food coloring and then dip the toothpick into the water and stir well with a spoon.

Dissolving bloomed gelatin it hot water and stirring in blue food coloring.

FILL THE GLASSES WITH JELLO

Pour about ¼ cup of room to lukewarm temperature blue jello into each of 4 drinking glasses. Then place the denture jello pieces into the glasses. Allow to set in the fridge for 15 minutes.

TIP : Fill the drinking glass in steps. Otherwise if you fill it to the top and then add jello denture, denture will float on the top. You want denture to be on the bottom. To make it sit at the bottom you need to add small amount of blue jello along with the denture jello first. Let it set partly in the fridge for 15 minutes and then top it off with remaining blue jello.

Pouring jello liquid into a drinking glass along with the jello denture.

Now that 1st layer of jello is partly set you can top it off with more light blue jello mixture and allow it to set in the fridge for couple of hours.

TIP : Serving suggestion. Serve with a toothpaste – a dollop of whipped cream.

Fill Denture Mold – White Teeth Part

Place prepared silicone mold on a flat tray. With a 1/2 teaspoon measure fill the denture mold cavities only up to the line where the teeth meet the gums. Stick tray with silicone mold into the fridge and allow white gelatin mixture to partly set, about 15 minutes.

Pink Mixture

Prepare pink mixture to make the gum part of the denture. I decided to use raspberry jello for more flavor.
TIP : You can skip the next step and instead add small amount of pink food coloring to the remaining white mixture.
Into a small bowl pour raspberry jello powder (1 tsp), pour hot water over it ( 2 tbsp), stir well until powder is completely dissolved. Pour raspberry pink mixture into the remaining white mixture. White mixture will turn pink

Fill Denture Mold – Pink Gum Part

Take silicone mold with white mixture partly set out of the fridge and with a tablespoon measure pour pink mixture over white layer. Fill the denture mold to the top. Return silicone mold to the fridge and allow to set for several hours.

Unmold Denture Jello

Gently loosen the edges by stretching the mold with your hand. Then turn the mold upside down and gently shake out the jello dentures out of the mold. Place them onto a plate. Cover and store in the fridge until ready to use.

BLUE JELLO "WATER" LAYER

In a medium size bowl sprinkle gelatin (3 tbsp) over cold fruit juice or water (1 cup). Let sit to bloom for 5-10 minutes.
While gelatin is blooming, into a medium size pot pour water (4 cups), granulated sugar (1 cup), citric acid (1/2 tsp). Heat on medium heat until sugar and citric acid is completely dissolved. Bring the mixture almost to the boil, till hot.
Pour hot water mixture into a bowl, over bloomed gelatin. Stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. Take a toothpick and dip the tip of a toothpick into a sky blue gel food coloring. Dip the colored end of the toothpick into the hot water/gelatin mixture. Stir well, until mixture is colored light blue. Let the mixture cool to lukewarm to room temperature. About 10-15 minutes. Pour blue jello mixture into a funnel pitcher.
FIY : I used a small bowl to bloom gelatin and so I had to scoop it out and whisk it into the hot water instead.

Prepare 4 drinking glasses, with at least 1 cup capacity.
Pour 1/4 cup of light blue jello into a drinking glass. Then place prepared jello denture on the bottom of the glass. Refrigerate for 15 minutes,till partly set. Then top it off with the remaining blue jello mixture. Refrigerate for several hours until set.
Serving suggestion : enjoy with a dollop of toothpaste – I mean whipped cream.

Notes

I DON’T HAVE CREAM CHEESE CAN I USE CONDENSED MILK IN PLACE OF CREAM CHEESE?

Yes, you can. I use cream cheese for more flavor.

CAN I USE LIGHT BLUE JELLO FOR “WATER” ?

Absolutely, if you can get your hands on it. I could’t find it in the store and so prepared my own.

HOW LONG DOES JELLO DENTURE DESSERT LAST?

Keep it covered and refrigerated for up to 5 days.
