Sweetened dairy products with steviol glycosides and lactase enzyme

A process of making a sweetened dairy product comprising the steps of:

• step a) preparing a fermented dairy composition comprising a milk composition and a lactase enzyme, comprising the following steps:
• a1) obtaining a milk composition comprising lactose,
• a2) adding a sufficient amount of the lactase enzyme for a sufficient time so as to partially hydrolyze the lactose so as to produce a hydrolyzed milk composition,
• a3) inoculating the hydrolyzed milk composition with lactic acid bacteria so as to produce a hydrolyzed lactic acid milk composition, and
• a4) fermenting the hydrolyzed lactic acid milk composition so as to produce a fermented dairy composition, and
• step b) adding an intermediate composition comprising at least one steviol glycoside, a polysaccharide of fructose units, and a salt to the fermented dairy composition.
