The answer may depend on aircraft type and type of operation, but for typical general aviation planes, how about turning around. After all, you said begin to enter freezing rain. So it has been perhaps 30 seconds, plus a minute to turn around plus another 30 seconds to exit. If you want to climb, do it at the same time. Once out of the freezing rain you can continue to climb if the goal was to get above the freezing level and then turn back and penetrate the precipitation again.

Frost forms by sublimation, not by precip falling. Typically, the sky is clear when it forms.
