Now that sounds like a very interesting use of a milk product -- it reminds me of milk paint that used to be more heavily used. OTH, it does not sound like they would be careful to make it sanitary enough to eat. Oh well, we don't eat pie very often anyway, and it is usually apple.

Seems to me there was a lactose-free cream in the supermarket, last time I visited. You can definitely get milk with the lactose removed, although IMO it tastes less good than regular milk. Roberta in D
Actually it is what they used call (and some people still do) milk paint.
From:
"casein paint - A paint much like opaque watercolor in which casein ? a milk glue ? is its binder. Casein is a white, tasteless, odorless protein precipitated from milk by rennin. Casein is the basis of cheese, and is used to make plastics, adhesives, and foods, as well as paint. Casein paint can be used on paper or board for light impasto, for underpainting, wall decoration, etc. Casein paint is too inflexible for use on canvas.
It dries quickly with a waterproof surface, and may be varnished.
