Melt 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips, coconut oil and coffee together in a small bowl and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
Whisk the eggs, coconut sugar and vanilla bean paste together until smooth in a large bowl.
Gradually add the almond milk to the mixture and whisk until fully incorporated and smooth.
Add the cubed bread to the mixture and mix well. Set aside for 15 minutes so bread can absorb the liquid.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a baking dish with butter.
Pour half the bread mixture into the baking dish. Spoon half the strawberries on top and half the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips. If using, sprinkle a little coconut on top as well.
Pour the remaining bread mixture on top and repeat with the remaining strawberries, chocolate chips and coconut.
Place in the oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes until the center is set.
