Place the pitted dates and dried figs in a food processor and blend until they form a sticky, coarse paste.
Transfer the date and fig mixture to a large mixing bowl.
Roughly chop the almonds, pistachios, and cashews and add them to the bowl with the date mixture.
Add the desiccated coconut, cocoa powder (if using), honey, and cinnamon powder to the bowl.
Using your hands, mix the ingredients thoroughly until they come together into a sticky dough-like consistency.
Place a large piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap on a clean surface.
Transfer the mixture to the paper or wrap and shape it into a tight cylindrical roll, approximately 2 inches in diameter.
Wrap the roll tightly in the parchment paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Once chilled, remove the roll from the refrigerator and slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife.
Serve immediately or store the slices in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
