  2. In a pot, mix the wine, sugar, agar-agar, lemon juice, and brandy. Heat and stir with a whisk until the sugar dissolves. Let the wine mixture cool.

  3. Whip the sweet cream and add it to the liquid mixture. Then add the fig cubes and mix everything together. Rinse four wide glasses or bowls with cold water and fill them with the fig cream. Let the dessert chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving.
