Presenting puff pastry perfection

Rumour has it the popular people at the party arrive with a platter filled with PC® Butter Puff Pastry creations. Loads of layers are the key in our mix. Butter and shortening product are folded together again and again to ensure you get a foolproof flaky finish without the work. Plus, that prized perfect puff every time.

Take a peek when it’s in the oven to see the layers as they unfold. Golden on the outside and tender on the inside. You did that! App aficionados have been using our puff pastry as their “secret” recipe for years. Filling it with both sweet or savoury toppings fit for any occasion. Hurry to grab another box—because this secret recipe is secret no more.

We’re proud to proclaim we’ve captured quite a compelling crunch. Our PC® Eggplant Parmigiana Sfogliatelle Pastry Bites (21543887_EA) are hand-shaped in Italy with 50 shatter-on-impact layers. Yes, 50 delicate layers ready to own all your parties this season. This classic Neapolitan street food is usually sweet-filled and served during the holidays. We pondered in the PC® Test Kitchen… could we make this flaky-filled favourite an app? And fill it with something rich and savoury? It immediately came to us: a parm and eggplant mash up. These bite-sized pouches ooze diced eggplant, three Italian cheeses and a tomato-bechamel sauce. They air fry from frozen in 15 minutes. Perfect for any last-minute visitors. But remember to allow for cooling time (scalding cheese is no one’s friend). Then take a bite. Hear that? It’s your tastebuds proclaiming they’ve just discovered a new favourite.

Forty years of main-dish energy

There’s no denying it; turkey is tricky to master. Between brining, stuffing and carving, there’s always a part we wish we could skip. That’s why in the early 2000s we dared to make turkeys that worked for you. First, we removed the bones! The delicious drumstick bones had to stay, but everything else was out to make our turkey a dream to carve. Hence the name, PC® Easy Carve Turkey with Traditional Cranberry Stuffing. And the stuffing —savoury seasoning with a touch of tart, thanks to the cranberries.

You loved it so much, we brought you another transformative bird: our PC® Butter-Infused Stuffed Turkey Crown. This time, we removed the wings, legs and back, so you can cook it from frozen in five hours or less. There’s more. The white meat is prepared with Normandy-style butter so it’s rich and tasty. No brining needed. It’s the same method used in our classic PC® Butter Infused Frozen Turkey. A truly foolproof feast, it’s also cooked with Normandy-style butter to keep it juicy and tender. For those tired of spending hours rustling up a sweet holiday ham, no more! Our PC® Boneless Spiral Sliced Hickory Smoked Ham with Brown Sugar Glaze Pouch is at the ready.

We cured it to infuse maximum flavour. Removed the bone for convenient carving. And gave you a glaze to drizzle for a golden crust. It’s a triumph in taste—from our table to yours.

A wellington is a showstopping main... but frankly it’s too much fuss. That’s why we did most of the work for you. We’ve lovingly laid our PC® Salmon Wellington with a lattice-topped puffed pastry. But not just any puff pastry. Our flakiest yet (and we know puff pastry, please tap here). Made with all butter for an ultra-rich flavour. Snuggled inside is succulent and responsibly farmed Atlantic salmon. Filled with a creamy cheddar cheese sauce with spinach. The tanginess of the cheese with the rich pastry is the chef’s kiss. All this indulgence and it’s so easy to prepare! Slide the frozen wellington out of the box and onto a tray. We’ve included the parchment paper, so you no need to worry about it sticking. For a more golden finish, brush a little egg wash on top of the pastry. Now, make room for your next crowning achievement, our PC® Stuffed Butternut Squash. This fancy, filling feast for vegetarians is so good everyone will want a piece. We’ve stuffed this squash full of flavour for you. There’s tomato, pearl barley, chickpeas, buckwheat, red onion, zucchini and quinoa. Topped with our special seed blend of sunflower, pumpkin, flax and sesame that gets deliciously crunchy in the oven (but keeps the squash super tender). Pre-dressed in a lemony vinaigrette, you just have to cook it for 60 minutes from frozen. No need to spend the day slicing and dicing. Instead, prepare for the applause that is sure to come as guests try their first bite.

Truth talk—sides might be the best part of holiday dinner. Potatoes loaded with butter. Seasonal veggies bursting with flavour. It’s all so scrumptious everyone wants seconds (or thirds) despite being full. That’s why you have to bring the swagger when it comes to sides. Elevate your feast with easy to make, crispy PC® Parmesan & Black Truffle Polenta Fries made with luxurious flecks of real black truffle foraged in Europe. These elevated fries are not to be confused with French fries. They’re sophisticated, New Year’s Eve party, formal occasion fries. Their creamy polenta centre made with Parmesan cheese and corn, along with the crusted coating, make them an indulgent side your guests will never stop talking about. Want something more downhome and cozy? Dish out the nostalgic, homemade taste of our creamy, cheesy PC® Scalloped Potatoes.

Because we’ve already par cooked them for you, when you pop them in the oven they crisp up to a stunning golden brown every single time. The creamy sauce made with cheddar and Swiss cheeses make this the ultimate comfort dish.

But what if the oven’s full? Try our new PC® Chopped Harvest Crunch Salad Kit or our new falafel-inspired PC® Chopped Lemon Tahini Crunch Salad Kit. Just open the bag, toss and serve. If you’re feeling creative, take our PC® Organics Field Greens up a notch by topping them with your favourite veggies and our new PC® Tahini & Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette. Made with preserved lemons and an authentic za’tar spice blend, this dressing has the perfect balance of nutty sweetness from the tahini and a kick of acidity from the preserved lemons.

Gone are the holiday plates of questionable tofurkey, “just pick off the cheese,” and family feasts with nothing you can eat. Now every holiday feast, party or quick meal between celebrations can have something everyone can enjoy. This year we’ve got plant-based options without the “weird” textures or “it sort of tastes like the real thing” reactions. Just delicious meals your vegan, vegetarian, flexitarian and even meat eaters will love.

Our PC® Plant Based Porkless Belly Bao Kit is the perfect meatless main when you’re craving some umami, crispy goodness. These takeout fakeout baos have three distinct layers: a tender layer made with jackfruit, cabbage, jicama, white radish and mushrooms, a luscious layer and a crackly crispy layer. It includes a salty-sweet vegan hoisin sauce to dip or spread on pillowy pre-steamed, hand-folded buns that taste just like your favourite Taiwanese restaurant.

Our PC® Plant Based Beefless Pasta Bake makes any cozy night-in even cozier. It’s a cheese-less meat-less, deconstructed lasagna that’s guaranteed to warm you up. The “cheesy” like sauce made from tofu and cashews will have you wanting more. It’s all topped with mozzarella flavoured shreds that get all melty and golden when you take it out of the oven. Do we need to say more? But be sure to mix it all together for the ultimate bite.

And for a quick flavour-packed lunch between gift shopping and wrapping, turn your favourite sandwich vegan with our PC® Plant Based Garlic Mayo-Style Spread. This egg-free and dairy-free spread is made with real roasted garlic and pea protein for an added richness. We believe it’ll put your usual mayo to shame. Plus, it comes in an easy to use, convenient squeeze bottle. It’s the perfect pairing to our new PC® Plant Based Tunaless Chunks in Spring Water. This fish alternative comes canned in salted water. It’s ready to serve and can be used to make your favourite tuna salad sandwiches, tuna casseroles and so much more since the texture is just like the tuna you know and love. It’s almost impossible to taste a difference between this soy-based ground tuna and well, tuna fish. Especially when you mix it with mayo. This has always been an item only found at specialty stores, until now. Craving some heat? Try the chili flavour.

We've been tireless in our attempts to craft the greatest cup of coffee ever—that hasn’t changed since we were the first private-label coffee to launch in Canada in 1930. And we believe our PC® coffees will bring you cozy, caffeinated perfection. 

We conducted a meticulous trial and error process to find our ultimate blends. Our blends contain a variety of beans including from Indonesia, Sumatra, Kenya or Ethiopia which are mixed and roasted for different lengths of time. Because all beans are different, our PC® Gourmet Coffee beans are “cupped,” meaning professional coffee graders taste them three times before they reach our Canadian roasting facility. Then, we cup for a fourth time after roasting to ensure they match the distinct, gourmet flavour you love. And that’s why we think these are the best beans at the best price (well, our legal team won’t let us say that...). And now our very good beans are available however you want it, like single-serve coffee pods and instant.

Say bonjour to our finest and flakiest croissants ever—and you just baked them up right at home. Our PC® Ready To Bake - All-Butter Croissants (21545111_EA) are made in France (of course) with 16 layers of French butter to give you a rich pastry that shatters with every bite. It’s truly a boulangerie-like pastry for just $6.99 (and no trip to Paris necessary)! Just pop them in the oven and voilà, warm croissants from France to serve guests or to keep to yourself. 

If you’re craving something sweet, our PC® Ready To Bake - All-Butter Pains Au Chocolat (21545086_EA) are always the answer. Traditionally in France these are made with only two bars of chocolate, but we wanted to give you chocolate in every bite. There was hesitation in the PC® Test Kitchen—two bars is the way it’s always been done. Do we dare try adding a third? Quelle surprise—not only is a third bar of real, semi-sweet chocolate enthusiastically French-approved, it may just set a new standard. The strategically dispersed chocolate ensures every bite gets a rich hit of cacao in all its glory. It’s morning magnificence that will have you reaching for more. 

For fruit fans, our PC® Ready To Bake - All-Butter Raspberry-Filled Croissants (21545122_EA). A pastry piece of art worthy of the museums, we’ve worked out how to add raspberry filling without disturbing the delicate honeycomb. Put these pretty pastries on a platter and you have the easiest brunch ever.

Now you’ve discovered that sharing a love of croissants with the people you love might just be the best way to hush the holiday hustle.

Making crepes sounds intimidating and like it might be best left to the professionals. That is until you discover our new PC® 2-In-1 Crepe Maker. We’ve made it effortless. Blast the holiday tunes while your new crepe maker heats up—the light turns green when one of the five heat settings is reached. Batter up! The overized plate (a full 14.5-inches) lets you make true French-size crepes. Plus, it’s non-stick and cast-aluminium, so you have even heating the whole time. Your secret weapons are the stainless-steel spreader (for making extra-thin crepes) and wooden flipper (for preventing ripping). Serve with an array of toppings—sweet and savoury to please all. When the breakfast is all done, cleanup is easy as you can remove the plates. Crepes again tomorrow?

Love bacon but hate the cooking process? Want to say goodbye to uneven cooking and batches upon batches of frying? Your wish is our command with our new PC® Ultimate Bacon Crisper. Simply spread 16 strips (yes, an entire standard package) over the wavy mesh insert. This is where the magic happens. It lifts your bacon up—where it should be—so the heat can circulate around it and the fat drips down. And cleanup? We’ve planned ahead. The drip tray makes for easy grease disposal. Then just pop the tray in the dishwasher. Be sure to think beyond bacon, too. Our PC® Ultimate Bacon Crisper can cook up a mean hash brown and breakfast sausage. We’ll be right over.

Lasagna fit for the fam (and your budget)

Lasagna lovers, we premiered our ultimate ready-made lasagna back in the early 1990s. Made just for you. It had to be just like Nonna’s. Onions and garlic slowly sauteed before adding crushed tomatoes. Now to give you the ultimate layered experience—pasta and ground beef are lovingly held together with rich mozzarella, ricotta, cottage and Parmesan cheeses.

Our PC® Meat Lasagna was born. There was only one bit of feedback—why isn’t there a veggie option? We got straight to work! Eight cheeses and six vegetables later, we brought you our PC® Vegetable Lasagna.

Once we started, we couldn’t stop. A luscious white cream sauce was a bright base for sustainably sourced wild shrimp, lobster and scallops in our PC® Seafood Lasagna. This time topped with crunchy breadcrumbs and mozzarella cheese. It was a weeknight winner, so we swapped the seafood for our PC® Chicken Lasagna (with an irresistible crispy cheese topping). Now, you have four favourites, ready to serve a family of four for $16.99 or less. Ultimate comfort achieved! Here comes the hardest part. Resisting the saucy, bubbly edges and all that cheese for the 10 minutes it takes to cool. Trust us, it’s worth it.

You can’t fathom a frozen find that will fulfill your pasta fix. Until you taste your first forkful of our PC® Cauliflower Gnocchi. Made in Italy, each gnocchi is carefully concocted for the best bite. Starting with cauliflower. A lot of it (each piece contains over 70% cauliflower). And only four other ingredients—cassava flour, potato starch, sea salt and extra virgin olive oil (yes, it’s gluten free). Mixed to ensure perfect, pillowy gnocchi. Then formed, boiled and individually frozen to preserve the quality. Top with jarred sauce or a little butter and Parm. No time to heat up sauce? We’ve got you! Reach for our PC® Butter Sage Sweet Potato Gnocchi. We’ve blanketed each tender piece of sweet potato in our rich, buttery sauce.

Or if the kids prefer a tomato sauce, dig into a bowl of PC® Pomodoro Cauliflower Gnocchi. Our classic Italian pomodoro sauce is mixed with each gnocchi to give you the sauciest bite.

Now, for a hearty dish like homemade (without the herculean effort). We wanted layers of comfort in our PC® Chicken Parmesan Radiatori Pasta Bake. Made-from-scratch radiatori pasta is full of nooks and crannies. Better to snugly hold our rosé sauce and give you lots in every forkful. Four chicken cutlets coated in a crispy topping and sprinkled with mozzarella cheese top it all off. Pop in the oven and you're done—without dirtying any dishes.

If rich and creamy is what you’re craving, indulge in restaurant-style risotto right at home. Our PC® Butternut Squash Risotto is made with premium Italian Carnaroli rice. Cooking to a perfect al dente every time, it’s the captivating creaminess you’re tasting. Made creamier by traditional Italian cheeses. Butternut squash and real butter finish off this fancy, fuss-free dish. And cheese devotees, we made our PC® Five Cheese Risotto just for you. All the cheese in six minutes or less.

No crust will be left behind with our new PC® Black Label Pizzas. It’s our best pizzeria pie, now at home and only $7.99. Perfetta! We’ve upgraded everything from the dough, to the toppings, to the way we crafted them. To preserve the structure of the double-fermented dough, they’re hand-tossed by a professional pizzaiolo in Italy. This gives you an airy crust with a soft centre. Then, they’re stone baked to crisp up the outside. And the toppings. Oh, the toppings. All equally as gourmet. Just take the PC® Black Label Margherita Pizza, topped with mozzarella, hand-pulled buffalo’s milk and Stracciatella cheeses. 

We’re not done with pizza yet. Need a quick, easy and cheesy feast to whip up before tobogganing? Our PC® Wood Fired Pizzas bring you your fave toppings, but made on an irresistible stone-baked crust.

PC® peppermint perfection

Fall is finally finishing and it’s time to put away your pumpkin spice. Your mug, like the trees, feels bare. Except that chill in the air is a sign that minty magic has arrived. And we’re about to fill your cup (and freezer and pantry too) with the taste of the holidays.

Here at PC®, we’re passionate about the many possibilities of peppermint. It’s never just candy. In our minty matchmaking hands, it’s ice cream, coffee and our coolest confection yet. What are you waiting for—the holidays are here and so is Candy Cane Lane.

When candy cane met crackle, an iconic Canadian holiday tradition was born. Devoted fans have been filling their freezers with our PC® Candy Cane Chocolate Fudge Crackle™ Ice Cream for decades. In fact, for the peppermint passionate, this is a prized possession. Fans go to multiple stores to find that coveted container. There is even one customer in Quebec who clears out our entire freezer section so they have enough to last the whole year (don’t worry, we still have plenty for you!). They’ve discovered—and now you have too—that when candy cane and crackle co-exist, it’s minty matchmaking heaven. 

Each coveted scoop gives you vanilla ice cream loaded with crushed peppermint candy and lots of our famous fudge crackle™. We have to keep our exact process under wraps, but we inject our crispy crackle into the ice cream. When paired with candy canes, it’s a crushable combo that has you stocking your freezer every holiday.

At every good party, cake comes with a side of ice cream. It’s the perfect pairing—that just got entwined together for eternity. We’ve crammed cupcakes with ice cream. Boom. Dessert dreams, achieved. Our PC® Birthday Cupcake Filled With Vanilla-Flavoured Ice Cream is literally filled top to bottom with as much vanilla-flavoured ice cream as possible. We’re here to indulge not make equations, but each cupcake has over 50% ice cream. And is made with 100% Canadian dairy (it’s the only way we make ice cream). The real sweet spot is the texture. Right out of the freezer, these cupcakes come ready to eat. How? A bit of magic and our super-soft ice cream. Specially made to top our fluffy and vanilla flavour-filled cake. You’ll never want cupcakes without ice cream again. 

Now for a dessert we believe is unlike anything you’ve ever tasted. Our slice-and-serve PC® Salted Caramel Meringata Meringue Dessert. It starts in Italy, with luxurious layers of frozen semifreddo. Meaning semi-frozen in Italian, semifreddo is airier and less cold than other frozen desserts. We take the time to whip the milk, sugar and egg until it’s almost velvet in texture. Then we top it with our house-made salted caramel meringue for a hit of crunch in every bite. Or try our PC® Sweet Cream Meringata Meringue Dessert with dark chocolate drops. After a day of feasting, this is the something sweet you’re craving. But it’s unbelievably light. Maybe you have room for a second slice?

It’s not the holidays without chocolate. And couvertures are what the world considers the crème de la crème of chocolate. Historically they’ve only been available in specialty shops. Until now! We’re bringing these coveted chips—in dark, milk and white—to the grocery aisle. Go pop open a bag of our PC® Black Label Couvertures. Prepare for an incredible richness. So creamy. So smooth. You want—no need—more. What makes couvertures so special is their high percentage of cocoa solids. Ours have a minimum of 29% and come straight from Belgium. If you bake cookies with couvertures, you don’t get just a bite of chocolate, rather puddles of luscious luxury (and, likely, a tiny dribble down your chin or on your fingers—lick it up, leave no couverture behind!) Melted couvertures are also perfect for dipping marshmallows, making candy or just snacking on whole.

PC Black Label Dark Chocolate Couverture

Everyone should get a thoughtful gift at this time of year. Especially the family member who’s been your resident alarm clock, walking buddy in the cold and constant cuddling companion. Behold a delicious delicacy designed especially for your dog. And with you in mind, too! You only want to give your dog something special. We’re pet parents too, that’s why we created our PC® Nutrition First® line. Our new PC® Nutrition First® Baked Apple Dog Treats (21544864_EA) and PC® Nutrition First® Baked Sweet Potato Dog Treats (21544858_EA) are made with a single ingredient. Sweet potatoes or apples. That’s it—no sneaky other ingredients. Prepare for some begging because every dog will want to gobble up this chewy treat. You can savour that they’re chowing down on a wholesome snack. Paws up if you want seconds?

Hours spent scrubbing surrounded by unpleasant smells is not how you want to welcome the festive season. Our new PC® Planet First™ cleaners are formulated without parabens and sodium laureth sulfates. Plus, this product has not been tested on animals and does not contain any animal or animal-derived ingredients There’s an All-Purpose Cleaner so you can effortlessly tackle dirt and grime. Say “see ya later” to limescale and soap scum with our Bathroom Cleaner. And grease is no match for our Dishwashing Liquid when it’s on a mission to give you glistening dishes. Each one will brighten a room with a pleasant scent, like fresh lavender. Our All-Purpose Cleaners and Dishwashing Liquids come in fragrance-free options too. We then bottled it all in a in a container made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic, which reduces the use of virgin material*. Cleaning never felt so good.

Decades of The Decadent® devotion

During a holiday defined by decadence, there’s a simple way to get your fix: a bag of PC® The Decadent® Chocolate Chip Cookies. Back in the 1980s, we set out to make you the best chocolate chip cookie. A champion cookie you would keep reaching for. The key was the chocolate. We stuffed as many chocolate chips as possible into the batter. Only physics stopped us from putting more. What about the buttery base? Some others use shortening or margarine, but it was butter or bust for us.

This cookie was good. But it was missing something. A certain texture. Now, this is our special ingredient, so let’s keep this between us: We added coconut. And just like that, a Canadian icon was born. It’s still our number-one bestselling cookie. In fact, you love it so much we made a decadent dynasty. PC® The Decadent® Reverse White Chocolate Chip Cookies, PC® The Decadent® Middle Chocolate Chip Cookies and PC® The Decadent® Chocolate Chunk Cookies. And those are just the cookies! We hope you’re hungry.
