Place the figs in a bowl and cover with water and soak for about an hour until soft. Drain reserving liquid.

In a blender, blend the figs and vanilla until smooth, slowly adding soaking water as needed to form a creamy consistency.

Transfer the fig mixture into a large bowl, add the nut butter and stir to combine.

In a separate bowl, mix the Cacao Powder, mesquite powder and Hemp Seeds.

Gradually add the dry Cacao mixture into the wet fig mixture. Stir well.

Press evenly into a 10 by 18-inch brownie pan one-inch thick and freeze until firm (about 3 hours).
