The processes described herein are directed to cream cheese products containing galacto-oligosaccharides and having significantly reduced lactose levels. More specifically, lactose-containing dairy substrates are contacted with lactase enzyme(s) having hydrolytic and trans-galactosylation activities effective for converting at least 20 percent of the lactose in the dairy substrate to galacto-oligosaccharides. The enzyme-treated dairy substrate is then processed into galacto-oligosaccharide containing cream cheese products having reduced lactose levels. The cream cheese products provided herein have excellent nutritional and organoleptic properties.
