The correct way would be to specify the input as per your requirement which will give you more flexibility.
The present definition includes the following
LTS : 'h:mm:ss A',
LT : 'h:mm A',
L : 'MM/DD/YYYY',
LL : 'MMMM D, YYYY',
LLL : 'MMMM D, YYYY h:mm A',
LLLL : 'dddd, MMMM D, YYYY h:mm A'
You can use any of these or change the input passed into moment().format().
For example, for your case you can pass moment.utc(dateTime).format('MMMM D, YYYY')
.
