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.
Break the ladyfinger biscuits in half and lightly dip into the coffee. In a glass cup, assemble the trifle.

Repeat the layering procedure until glass is full.
Top the trifle with whipped cream and a slice of banana, then sprinkle with toasted almonds.
