Once curd has thickened, remove pan from heat and let the curd cool to room temperature. While the curd is cooling, give it a good stir every few minutes. Once the lemon curd has cooled to room temp, cover the pan with plastic wrap and put it in refrigerator. The lemon curd will need to be well chilled prior to serving (at least 3-4 hours). While the curd is chilling, make the won ton cups.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt 2-3 TBSP of butter in a small saucepan or in your microwave. When done, remove from heat. In a SEPARATE bowl, place 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Set melted butter and the bowl with the sugar next to each other on the counter, to make the won tons.
Prepare one won ton at a time. Using a pastry brush, brush both sides of the won ton with the melted butter, making sure to completely coat each side. Once done, sprinkle ONE side of the won ton with granulated sugar. **I held the won ton in one hand and sprinkled the sugar on it with my other hand. Take the won ton, sugar-side UP, and lightly press it into the well of a miniature muffin pan. Place won ton wrappers in every other cup, so the edges will not touch. If you have two mini-muffin tins, use both. Repeat with remaining won ton wrappers.
Bake the won ton cups at 350 degrees, until they are lightly browned (about 7 minutes). When done, remove pan(s) from oven and place on wire rack. Let cups cool slightly, then CAREFULLY remove them from pan. (I found there was still some melted butter in the bottom of the cups when they were done baking, so I just turned them upside down on paper towel to let it run off).
The original recipe was for lemon-lime curd. To make this version, use 3 TBSP each lemon juice and lime juice. Also change recipe to 1 tsp. each grated lemon and lime rind. Everything else stays the same.
