q = mcΔT

Mass of the Moon is 7.35 x 10^22 kg

The specific heat of Basalt is 840 j/kg

Temperature of the moon is 395.928 k

395.928 + 840 = 1,235.928

7.35 * 10^22 * 840 * 1,235.928 = 7.6306195e+28 J

18 Exatons of TNT

Multi-Continent level+

However if the ash of the moon fell outside of it's gravitational boundaries, then that means your blast destroyed its gravity as well. Therefore, it's still a Moon level feat.
