How to Prepare Raw Cherry Dumplings [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Peel and cut yams into small cubes.
Place them into a pot of water and bring them to a boil.
Cook them until the potatoes are fork-tender (about 15 minutes), drain, and let them cool.
Please place them in a food processor and process them until smooth.
Add the remaining ingredients and process them until the mixture is well combined.
Pour the mixture into a small bowl and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes (or until the mixture is firm enough to roll into balls).
For the jam filling, blend the thawed cherries with some cherry juice (from the thawed cherries) and dates until it becomes smooth.
Add a half tablespoon psyllium husk and pulse this together.
Let it sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Remove the dumpling mixture from the refrigerator. Divide the dough into ten equal portions, and then gently roll each portion into a round using a circular motion with the palm of your hand.
Remove cherry jam filling from the refrigerator, then take about 1 tablespoon from the jam and roll this into balls.
Holding a circle of dough in your palm, put the (jam ball) filling in the center of the dough and form a ball around the cherry center.
For coating, the dumplings combine 5-6 tablespoons of shredded coconut with the remaining cherry juice from the thawed cherries, spread this mixture on a dehydrator sheet, and dehydrate it at 140°F for 1 hour (or dry it in the oven). Roll dumplings in the coconut.
