The Most Awesome Fuit Pizza!

My girlfriend made this for me and it was the best dessert I have ever had (since I am trying to lay off the chocolate). The pretzels make for a nice sweet and salty treat!
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups coarsely crushed pretzels (put in a ziploc bag and crush w/meat mallot)****
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups cold butter or margarine
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon grated lime peel
1 1/2 cups whipped topping
7 cups Assorted fresh fruit (kiwi, strawberries, pineapple, bananas, grapes, mandarin oranges)
DIRECTIONS:
In a bowl, combine pretzels and sugar; mix well. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into a 14-in. pizza pan. Bake at 375 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until set. Cool on a wire rack; refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine milk, lime juice and peel. Fold in whipped topping; spread over crust. Cover and chill. Top with fruit just before serving.
****I added at least another cup of pretzels. Otherwise the sugar crystallizes and it's a little too sweet
