creme

Sweet pastry stuffing

Creme is an alternative spelling of cream, typically used in product names and culinary contexts to suggest richness or European sophistication: crème brûlée, crème fraîche, creme rinse.

The spelling with the accent mark (crème) is French; without it, creme often appears in English brand names and menu items where cream would seem too plain.
