On a menu.
I have previously seen and translated "du moment" on a menu as "seasonal", e.g. "served with seasonal veg.". I'm not sure how this works here unless the coulis varies depending on what fruits are in season. Any ideas?

Freshly-prepared crème brûlée with Vergeoise sugar, served with red fruit coulis
"Frais du moment" applies to fruits, vegetables, fish. Given the fact that the term here describes the crème brûlée and not the red fruits (if it did, it would come after "fruits rouges"), I would use "freshly-prepared". Vergeoise sugar can be white or brown so I would keep the term "vergeoise".
Vergeoise - white or brown sugar with a particularly creamy and liquid consistency. Very nice in dairy products, it is often used in local dessert recipes (crème brûlée, tarte au sucre).

Or it could be that the sugar is \"frais du moment\", meaning that it is freshly burned onto the crème brûlée. I would still use \"Freshly-prepared crème brûlée with Vergeoise sugar...\" as I think it still keeps the same idea of \"recently-prepared\" and \"freshness\".

Comment: "Apologies for the delay in answering... I eventually decided on freshly prepared, rather than freshly made, but it was a close second. Thanks to all 3 of you for your help."

Freshly made crème brûlée with Vergeoise sugar
The 'frais du moment' seems to me mean 'freshly made' in this case; the 'Vergeoise sugar' comes from a sugar manufacturer, see web link, and the 'crème brûlée' can stay as it is according to my Grand Dictionnaire Hachette Oxford.

seasonal
Crème brûlée is a general term that every cook should understand and know. It is a custard cream, onto which the sugar is “burned onto” the custard cream.- Frais du moment- seasonal berries -- Vergeoise – is a type of brown sugar! So you could translate: "Crème brûlée with brown sugar served on a coulis of red fruits, and seasonal berries". A coulis is a sauce made out of fruits, berries, sugar and mineral water.
