Split the vanilla bean lengthwise. Using the tip of a sharp knife, scrape the seeds from the center into a small saucepan. Then, add the bean to the pan.
Add the sweetened condensed milk, cream and salt to the pan. Cook and stir over medium heat until heated through, five to seven minutes. Editor's Tip: Don't let the mixture come to a boil. It just needs to get hot enough to help the milk products and vanilla flavoring blend together.
Remove the pan from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Discard the vanilla bean. Editor's Tip: If you're using extract instead of a whole vanilla bean, add it now. Heating an extract will dull its flavor.
