Use an electric mixer to whip the ganache until it's light and fluffy after it has chilled. The whipped caramelized white chocolate ganache can be piped or spread on the cupcakes after they have cooled. If you want, you can decorate with more caramelized white chocolate shavings or sprinkles. Serve your Whipped Caramelized White Chocolate Ganache Cupcakes and enjoy them!
