Even if it didn't change the texture, it wouldn't be a sudden explosion, but a slow release. The ice would melt off, slowly exposing the surface of the Mentos. To get the explosion they want you have to throw the Mentos in quickly.

What if you had piece of ice with an air cavity where the Mentos is placed, then sealed in? I think that might work, bit it’s certainly tricky to set up.

Once the air cavity is breached, you have a few droplets of liquid touching the candy, effusing minor volumes of carbonation and then slowly diffusing with the rest of the soda.
