A Guide to Practical Halacha (Shabbat v. 3 p. 155 n. 58) quoting Rav Moshe Feinstein agrees.

Mesoret Moshe v. 2 p. 66 also quotes Rav Moshe as holding that you can make ice on Shabbat. See also Tzitz Eliezer 6:34 and 8:12 as well as Minchat Yitzchak 8:24. </ref> Sephardim are lenient and allow one to make ice on Shabbat.<Ref>Or Letzion 2:32:3, [http://www.dailyhalacha.com/m/halacha.aspx?id=969 Rabbi Eli Mansour] on dailyhalacha.com.
