Is a creature that within minutes can melt a block of ice with its hands feasible?

Imagine a planet where there are extremely cold temperatures and water can be found only in frozen state.

To cope with harsh conditions the creature evolved so it can melt ice with its body surface and through that process gets liquid water which it needs to survive. Through this process the creature can melt liters of water in mere minutes. How can I explain extreme heat radiation from body surface so it is at least somewhat realistic and backed up with science and laws of nature.
