Acid whey texture system

The present invention relates to a method for directly using acid cheese whey and/or its by-products from conventional cheese production to make additional food products. More particularly, the present method provides an economical way to profitably utilize a traditional waste or byproduct in the manufacture of cream cheese or other high-value added products without re-culturing, without combining with cheese curd, without neutralizing, and without the disposal or recycling costs common in the industry. A creamy dairy product is produced by mixing a concentrated acid whey and an edible fat followed by heating and optionally homogenizing the mixture.
