I didn't have any plans for the whey and didn't want to keep it around so I simmered and reduced it a crazy amount. The concentrated lactose is sweet and delicious. I removed the ricotta and ate it prepared like a dessert cottage cheese.

But I still wasn't done! I had about 170mL of concentrated, sweet whey left, so I made caramel. Mixed with 1 cup white sugar, brought to a boil over medium heat in a tall saucepan, and allowed to darken for about 10 minutes. Added 4 Tbsp cold butter and we have caramel!
