Place the figs in a bowl with enough water for them to be fully submerged and heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes (until they are soft).
Put figs, cashews, sugar, and 4oz of milk in a blender and pulse on high for about 30 seconds.
Add the remaining 4oz of milk and blend for an additional 10 seconds.
Serve!
Tip 1- add the shake to shot glasses for a fun mini dessert.Tip 2- drink it straight out of the blender! (I use a magic bullet to blend and it comes with ready to go cups.)
