Add an instance int field to the class to count down the act cycles it is to be frozen for. For each execution of the act method, if the value of the field is zero, then the actor is not frozen (act normally); if it is not zero, decrement its value. When it hits the object in question, set the value of the field to something around 50, or 60. This would look something like the following: 
// with instance field
private int freezeTimeRemaining;

// at beginning of act method
if (freezeTimeRemaining != 0 && --freezeTimeRemaining != 0) return;

// elsewhere in act method (or a method called by it)
if (isTouching(Icing.class)) // adjust class name as needed
{
    freezeTimeRemaining = 55;
}
