Destem and slice the figs into quarters.
Blend cashews and figs in food processor until a loose paste forms.
Add in the rest of the ingredients through the feeder tube with the machine running on low. *See note about water quantities.
*The water amounts will really vary depending on whether you use coconut flakes or coconut oil AND on the quality of your dried figs. With coconut flakes and very dry figs, we used 10 teaspoons of water. With coconut oil and moister figs I used only 1 tablespoon and that was enough. You know you've used enough when the mixture all comes together in one ball in the food processor.
