Ice cream will melt faster than solid ice (assuming equivalent amounts and geometries) for a few reasons. For one thing, ice cream is a mixture of water, cream and several other ingredients. Thus, ice cream has a lower freezing/melting point than pure ice. Additionally, ice cream is less dense than ice, and this also means that the ice cream will melt faster. This second effect can be seen as similar to shaved ice melting faster than an ice cube.
