1.
Pulse the dates, coconut oil, almond butter and cocoa powder in a food processor for a few minutes, until it forms a thick, smooth paste.

2.
Combine the paste with the nuts and cranberries, mixing well to combine.

3.
In a lined baking tray, press the mixture down to around 1.5 cm thick. Pop in the freezer for at least 2 hours to set. Remove from the freezer 30 minutes before serving to soften.

4.
Decorate with the fig slices, before slicing into bars with a sharp knife. Enjoy immediately or store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
