The disclosed dairy-based comestible comprises: a dairy protein component providing dairy protein and lactose to the dairy-based comestible; about 14 to about 22% lactose; about 10 to about 65% moisture; a lactose-in-moisture phase of about 30 to about 50% calculated as the weight percent lactose divided by the sum of the weight percent lactose plus the weight percent moisture; and a maximum temperature exposure of the dairy protein component between about 130°F and 155°F effective such that lactose crystal sizes are an average of about 100 microns or below within the moisture phase to provide a smooth texture to the dairy-based comestible.
