A comestible containing milk solids and method of its making includes providing a fat phase that has a fat and milk powder, providing a syrup phase that has a sweetener and a solid content between about 72% and about 88% by weight, followed by mixing the fat phase with the syrup phase in a weight ratio between 70% fat phase/30% syrup phase to 30% fat phase/70% syrup phase and forming the milk-base comestible from the mixed mass. The resulting comestibles deliver real milk in a shelf stable form in a product that has a clean taste and pleasant mouthfeel, with a non-grainy, non-mealy texture.
