Use DateTime's formatGMT to format the time according to your specs in GMT.

String formatedDt = dt.formatGMT('yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:mm:ss\'Z\'');

you can use the dateGMT() method:

dateGMT()

Return the Date component of a Datetime in the GMT time zone. Signature

public Date dateGMT()

Return Value

Type: Date

Example:

DateTime myDateTime = DateTime.newInstance(2006, 3, 16, 23, 0, 0);
Date myDate = myDateTime.dateGMT();
Date expected = Date.newInstance(2006, 3, 17);
System.assertEquals(expected, myDate);

from the Apex developer Guide

  • see @sfdcfox's answer above - formatGMT method instead of dateGMT() for formatting existing dateTime
