Method
STEP 1
Mix the caramel sauce and half of the cream. Whisk until completely smooth.
STEP 2
Using a hand mixer, beat sugar, vanilla and remaining cream for about 5 minutes until soft peaks form. Do not over mix or the cream will split.
STEP 3
Break the ladyfinger biscuits in half and lightly dip into the coffee. In a glass cup, assemble the trifle. Begin with a layer of dipped ladyfinger biscuits, followed by the slices of microwave oven-roasted bananas, a drizzle of caramel sauce and a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layering procedure until glass is full.

Top the trifle with whipped cream and a slice of banana, then sprinkle with toasted almonds.
