Terraria – Snow Biome in Dungeon

terraria

I am trying to farm both Ectoplasm and Frozen Key Mold in Terraria.

If I place more than 300 blocks of ice/snow in the dungeon so that the background turn into ice, will killing dungeon mobs give me the Frozen Key Mold?

If the wording on the Biome Key Mold wiki page is accurate, I believe the answer to your question is yes. From said page (emphasis is mine):

After the Wall of Flesh is defeated, every enemy has a 0.04% (1 in 2500) chance of dropping a Biome Key Mold. The type of Biome Key Mold that is dropped depends on the biome you are currently in (Jungle, Corruption, Crimson, Hallow or Snow). Any mold can drop in Ocean biomes.

Creating an artificial snow biome should eventually yield a frozen key mold, assuming that your character remains within that biome. You'd need to make the biome big enough to ensure that you don't accidentally exit it and enter back into the natural dungeon.
