cream
'die Creme' and 'der Pudding' can both be sweet, soft foods. 'Creme' is more general and is often used for a creamy mixture in desserts, cakes, or as a filling. 'Pudding' is a specific sweet dish that is usually cooked from milk, sugar, and a thickening agent, and becomes somewhat firmer. The words can be confused because both can be spoonable and creamy. If you mean a specific dessert like 'Vanillepudding' (vanilla pudding), 'Pudding' is correct. If you mean a soft sweet mixture in a cake or dessert, 'Creme' is often the right choice.
