My dad swears that this is the best coconut cream pie he has ever had. This version is super easy to make, tastes fabulous, and makes a big pan, so it's perfect for family get-togethers or if you just love leftover pie.

3 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup butter, melted
4 cups milk
4 (3.5 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix graham cracker crumbs and butter together in a bowl; press graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan.
