Justina Huddleston is a food writer living in Los Angeles. When she's not busy writing, she spends her time in the kitchen creating both virtuous and decidedly junky vegan food. Buffalo chickpea pizza, anyone? She's also been known to eat a plain block of tofu or beans straight out of the can for lunch, but somehow those culinary adventures don't make it to her Instagram. You can follow Justina on Twitter or see what's cooking in her kitchen on her blog, A Life of Little Pleasures.

From the outer reaches of the galaxy to the center of the Earth’s core, science-inspired desserts are our new obsession. Whether you’re passionate about dinosaurs or the Andromeda galaxy, these 17 treats offer something for everyone.
