How to Make Double Chocolate Lava Babies

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease and flour six 10-ounce custard cups or a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Place custard cups in a shallow baking pan.
  3. Toast 1/2 cup pecan halves in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until lightly toasted. Set aside 1/4 cup for garnish. Chop remaining pecans coarsely.
  4. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions for cake-like brownies.
  5. Evenly divide batter among the prepared cups.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, prepare the praline sauce: In a heavy saucepan over low heat, gently warm 1 cup caramel ice cream topping.
  8. Stir in 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream. Cook for 1-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until smooth.
  9. Stir in the coarsely chopped pecans.
  10. Remove brownies from oven. Using a small knife, make a dime-sized hole in the top of each cake.
  11. Gently spoon 1/2-1 tablespoon of praline sauce into the center of each cake.
  12. Return cakes to the oven and bake for another 5-8 minutes, or until the edges feel firm.
  13. Cool in the baking pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
  14. Carefully loosen the edges of each cake and invert onto dessert plates.
  15. Stir the remaining praline sauce and add 1/2-1 tablespoon of hot water if needed to thin.
  16. Split cakes partially open, and spoon warm praline sauce on top.
  17. Garnish with sweetened whipped cream and toasted pecan halves.
  18. Serve immediately and enjoy!
