The limited-edition ice cream, made from "an outrageous symphony of decadent chocolate ice cream, peanut butter cookie dough, butter brickle and white chocolate chunks," is a take-off on his 1970s hit Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.
It will only be available next week, coinciding with Sir Elton's concert in Vermont, where Ben & Jerrys's ice cream is produced.
Proceeds from the flavour will go to the Elton John AIDS Foundation, reports the Associated Press.
"It's hard to cram 50 years of musical history that Elton John brings to the table in one pint," said Sean Greenwood, a spokesman for Ben & Jerry's.
Sir Elton collaborated, and has given his stamp of approval to the ice cream, even though he hasn't actually tasted it yet, Greenwood explains.
"He said, 'Chocolate and peanut butter, guys, if you can make something like that work,'" said Greenwood.
