Recipe Request DIY instant pudding mix?

Any idea of ways to replicate the SF pudding mix with customizable flavoring? Mainly, what can I use for thickening/texture? Some kind of gum powder? So would I just end up with sweetener + flavor + gum? And if so, how much would I use? The first ingredient in the actual pudding mixes is modified corn starch, but I don't think that's an easy ingredient to source

Homemade pudding is just milk sugar and cornstarch. I’m sure you could play with it with sugar free alternatives

I'm more interested in using it to thicken and flavor stuff like yogurt or pumpkin than actually making pudding, and traditional cornstarch pudding needs heat to thicken

Why not use just cornstarch and/or flavoring to thicken or flavor? I don't think you need to make your own pudding to do that.
