  3. In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, milk, black cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend on high until smooth, about 30 seconds. Adjust thickness with more milk if needed.
  4. Taste the milkshake and add more black cocoa powder if desired. Blend again briefly to incorporate.
  5. Remove chilled glasses from the freezer, pour the milkshake, top with the whipped cream and sprinkles, and serve immediately.
