Meanwhile, whisk milk with sugar and corn starch in a medium, heavy-bottom saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is very thick; remove from heat. Whisk in white creme chips until melted. Whisk in lemon zest and juice until well combined. Gradually whisk in butter until completely incorporated. Pour into prepared pie shell.
