Combine the cream and the condensed milk in a small saucepan, and place the saucepan on a burner set to the lowest heat setting. You want the milk and cream to be warm so that the caramel will not separate when you add it in later. Check the cream and milk occasionally to ensure that it is not getting too hot--you do not want it to boil.
