Meanwhile make the caramel sauce: Pour the condensed milk into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 100 for 1 minute. Whisk until smooth (be careful it is very hot). Repeat cooking on 50, stirring every minute, for 4 minutes or until the mixture turns a light caramel colour. Remove from microwave. Add sugar and stir until dissolved.
