Prepare the Banana Mascarpone: combine banana and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add cream and beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Add mascarpone and vanilla extract; beat on medium speed until soft and billowy, about 20 seconds. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

When ready to assemble, working with 1 ladyfinger at a time, dip half of the ladyfingers into the spiced milk, letting it sit in milk about 2 seconds total. Transfer to an 8-x8-inch baking dish and arrange ladyfingers in a single layer, trimming ladyfingers as needed to fit neatly.
