It's the latent heat of fusion.

It varies between substances, for water, it's around 333 joules of energy per gram of water, about 80 calories per gram in the old money.

What most influences the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance?

The amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance is most influenced by its specific heat capacity, which is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a given mass of the substance by 1 degree Celsius. Substances with higher specific heat capacities require more energy to change temperature compared to those with lower specific heat capacities. Additionally, the mass of the substance being heated also plays a role in determining the amount of energy needed.
