1. Tear or cut the angel food cake into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (with its juice) and the instant vanilla pudding mix. Stir until the pudding mix is fully dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly.
3. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
4. Add the drained mandarin oranges and orange zest (if using). Stir carefully to avoid breaking the orange segments.
5. In a 9x13-inch dish or trifle bowl, layer half of the angel food cake pieces, followed by half of the pineapple-orange mixture. Repeat with the remaining cake pieces and pineapple-orange mixture, spreading the top layer evenly.
6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until well chilled to let the flavors meld.
7. Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves or additional mandarin orange slices if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
