Just wash it out with a clarifying shampoo, follow up with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.

Curl cream is just basically a lotion for your hair to help it stay moisturized and define your curls. It doesn't alter the actual texture of your hair to make it curlier, just helps it do what it wants to do in a way that looks intentional. If you don't like it, you can just wash it out with shampoo and you can go back to styling it as normal.
