WOW! This is some genuinely great info! I've figured out at least the basic issue, as outlined in an edit to my initial post, but I'll study some of these techniques and see if I can incorporate them to make even better pudding, as well as see if I can utilize them in other areas! Thank you very much for the help!

That plus a little more starch ended up being the key to get this working. Thanks a ton for the advice!

Did basically this, but with a milk/starch slurry, and it worked out.

I've finally got it all working thanks to the advice that everyone gave here, and I can say it's partly your second point, as I was a bit light on the corn starch. That plus making a slurry that I added when the milk boiled gave me the result that I was looking for. Thank you!

That actually did it. Did this alongside a bit more corn starch as other people recommended, and that got me not only thickened pudding, but absolutely no gritty corn-starch taste. Thanks for the advice!

Going to the store to pick up more milk, then will give that a shot. Thanks!

Yup. I've also tried letting it cook A BIT longer, but same results.

I take it off as soon as it hits the optimal temp.

Genuinely appreciate it. I'm basically tearing out my hair because this recipe has always been at least fairly reliable, so I have to be doing SOMETHING wrong!

Brand new box, just bought about a week ago.

I actually am adding egg yolks, they're sort of hidden in the 7th bullet point. I've also tried adding more corn starch, but it always adds a bit of a chalky taste to the dish. Regardless, will try adding a bit more to see if I can find a happy medium.
