creamy is adjective. cream is noun. so:
creamy sauce is grammatically correct, but cream sauce is grammatically wrong. But why?
Because the thickness /or the viscosity of the sauce is creamy (cream-like thickness).

Creamy described texture: the sauce is smooth, like cream; but cream is not its main ingredient.
Cream sauce is actually made of cream as its main ingredient.

@ladybug I donna want to downvote. It's not my way of discussions, but I disagree with you about "cream sauce" fron the lingual viewpoint. It is wrong.

@tomaz_
These are both adjectives:
creamy (adj) sauce (noun) = adjective describes the texture of the sauce
cream (adj) sauce (noun) = adjective describes the main ingredient in the sauce. Cream describes/modifies, and is therefore an adjective.
The definition of “cream” includes noun, adjective, and also verb. The part of speech is determined by context.
Check any recipe collection, and you will find multiple “cream sauces”.

@ladybug I understand your point if you mean the color of the sauce (=i.e. yellowish-to-white sauce in color), because that compound color is referred as "cream".
